Dreaded awakening
no longer sheltered from that which I fear.

for reality is the open cell that i share with him..
the stranger

Oppressive, voracious being, but not of blood nor flesh he thrives
he stalks and plots wickedly
from a veil behind my eyes

Every moment, a battle of control
i tire and grow weaker
a battle for my soul

alone i fear this stranger most for this is when he's brave
fortifying himself in my shell while dragging me away

I crawl away and lay in darkness

waiting for the sunrise

It never comes, for I've become, the stranger in my eyes.

Do you remember seeing the caramel sky, retire under the horizon? With sandy clothes and a shoe pillow,  we lied and watched the tide in?  

Didn't think so.  It wasn't a very memorable time.
No lights nor music, and no confessions, just you were there and I.

Is that a star, or is that a plane? we debated until we bore.
Weightless, meaningless words, exchanged upon the shore
  But I remember everything.

Under the eternal night sky, and beside the vastness of the ocean, its easy to feel small and morose.

But i swear that forgettable time with you I was high above the cosmos.

She breathed into me life I've forgotten
Antidotes, spoken into life by the voice of an angel
        The sweet lines she knew I craved
                      I'm helplessly hers.
