Dreams, Nightmares

When will the pleasant dreams finally begin?

And the nightmares start to fade away?

Time is running short, smiles are running cold.

The heart that's starting to hurt,

Physically, emotionally, mentally,

I'm being torn apart.

The dreams become my reality

And reality shifts into nightmares.

You are so far away

And I often wish that you are near.

Like right over here by my side.

Yet no matter how impossible it is,

I find myself wishing for it all day and night.

You are my dream that will not come,

My smiles that I've lost so long ago..

My hand on the other side of the world.

The walls that I built around my frightened heart,

The space that I keep around my overflowing moat.

The castle that threatens to collapse, on anyone near.

The raging dragon that seek, to keep people away.

Torn down in rumbles, you blast these walls away.

Filled up with warmth and smiles, the moat dries up quickly.

Holding up the ruins, you shove them aside.

Calming that dragon, you make your way into the my heart.

What have you done now, I don't know.

I won't say that I hate it nonetheless.

Yet.. With that barrier around me gone,

I am fragile and shaking, trembling with each breath I'm taking

Just reaching out to grab at any straws at life.

But pondering to simply let go and fall.

Just let me fall, let me fall into the darkness..

You're my dream, my nightmare.

Fictionally landscaped, a world of terror innocence and borderline sycophant. A mere glimpse into a turn a phrase, flowed beautifully and without apoplectic, a steering mention for dreaming and the mind when black, it almost begs to be made into a full blown story - something to think about perhaps, well written, great job.
