As she dreams
She lay
beneath the night
the world
at the very edge
of existence
the earth
soaks into
her soul
as she falls
completely in love
with the stars
picking them
one by one
from the sky
tucking them away
inside her heart
for the nights
that darkness
consumes her.
My journals soul
Between
these pages
are my truth
upon
my journals soul
I share
my secrets
that no one
else knows
my naked scars
visible
for all the see
stripped down
and bare
I bleed until
my very last word
Night
and
just
like
that
you were gone
Lies
the lies
fall
one
by
one
from your
imperfect mouth
they stumble
and crumble
falling all the way
down
leaving a trail
of broken words
to lay on
the ground
for another
to fall upon
But not me
I no longer
take that path
I’ve chosen
another way
Reflection
These tears
that I cry
collect into puddles
resting at my feet
I look down
at my mirrored reflection
thinking this can’t be me
Dreams
I lie in bed
at night
listening to the quietness
that surrounds me
the world
doesn’t seem to move
and the clock
doesn’t seem to tick
not tonight
my soul
drips slowly
through my fingers
falling down gently
like a summers rain
caressing my skin
the sweet scent
filling my entire body
the darkness
carry’s me
into my dreams
and they take me
ever so gently
and ever so sweetly
Stars
A million little diamonds
sparkle in the nights sky
lying here beneath them
with you by my side
we dream a thousand dreams
before we even close our eyes
beneath our starlit sky
we’ll dream a thousand more
before the twinkle fades
close our eyes
and make a wish
upon our shooting star
and just for tonight
we really aren’t that far
hush now my love
for a million ones
shine just for us
The Stranger
The smile fades
as he walks through the door
a stranger he is
someone she doesn’t know anymore
she lives her life
so different than his own
always together
but living a world alone
words of anger
they filter through the room
hurting like a knife
lingering around in gloom
the walls close in
with every breath she takes
suffocating her more
with every move she makes
The smile fades
as he walks through the door
a stranger he is
someone she doesn’t know anymore
Listen
Do you hear that?
shh, just listen
the sound falls all around
finally resting upon the ground …
Silence …
