You grew from my head
My fantastic stories
I’ve become a believer
You prey when my vulnerability shows
Outside to inside, from with you come out
My sight lies
My ears lie
I carry you with me
A pledge that is carried
Only my soul
I created you
You grew from my head
My fantastic stories
I’ve become a believer
You prey when my vulnerability shows
Outside to inside, from with you come out
My sight lies
My ears lie
I carry you with me
A pledge that is carried
Only my soul
I created you
Take the pillow
below your head
peel the feathers
from the corners of the bed
And lost
alone
in a house
too cold for the comforters
Follow the mouse to the basement door
just steps down
to where your soul
can be found
But you’ve gone
to pick daisies
for a bed of Children
gone to the cold
Stop talking, stop thinking
Always everything, the same thing
Make it stop
Jump away, a new reality
Everywhere I turn
All I hear, a reminder
Make it stop, No sympathy
Every corner
All the halls, Everything
Glass haters like crystal
Just enough pressure
Something new
All I need new, Now
Place a hand on my chest
Listen to the beat of my heart
Place another on my arm
Running fingers down my skin
Know these feelings of touch
Are solid
My body, my presents
Is still here
Recognition in loyalty
Could be a mutual understanding
A place to run, to hope, to be safe
Somewhere with us
Souls speak from echoing walls
Origins unknown, destinations all clear
The madness they ensue
Roars as more add to the noise
Dreams faded years before
Nightmares eat at resistance
Wailing, wallows, heard within
Soon another soul will join
One by one collecting them up
No pieces of hope
No glimpses of peace
Torment and sorrow are left behind
