Dreams

Peacefully dreaming
Away from this dark portal
of reality

Sleep
A desperate escape
from unkind world
We know so well

Darkness takes me
I fall away
into a peaceful slumber.

When You Look - by Amber Farrow

When you look in my eyes what do you see?
When you look deep into my soul, what do you feel?

I see dreams and nightmares.
I see hope and high expectations.
I feel love, anger, and peace.

When you look at me do you really see me?
Can you look past my flaws to see the good in me?

Without love an compassion where would we be?
Without love there is no future.

Sleep

Slumber takes me to a foreign place
Where dreams are scarce
and in my mind
it awaits

It waits for my eyes to slowly drop
It waits for me to relax
and in my mind
it awaits

It waits for me to give way to darkness
It waits for me to welcome it in,
and in my mind
it awaits

Sleep finally sets in,
It has awaited
and I have given in.
I have given in.

Bitterness

Eating away at
my thoughts
and
stealing my dreams --

You think you
are destined
to
screw me.

You are mislead
mistaken if
you will -

for you are the one
who's going
to burn

in hell.
