My life is a dream,
so when I dream
it's a dream within a dream.

I see my angel
soft feathered wings
and a bright white smile.

I like to imagine
that its the face of God
visiting me in my only solace.

But each night, when I smile back
the dream shatters
and I waken to my living nightmare.
My words are but a shooting star
To be seen in all its glory
But as shooting stars fade in an instant
So do my words to be read once
Then fade into obscurity
The night wind whistles,
Rustling the leaves upon blackened trees;
A midnight silence interrupted -
A forest on the outskirts of town,
Stirred from sleep, and legend-bound.
A trail leads through the wild black,
Rumbles of thunder distantly sound,
And with each beat, the gale awakens.
The cracking strike of an electric bolt
Lights the trail for a mere blink of an eye -
Behold the shadow with titanic wings,
Soaring low, and on they fly.
Inspired by the Thunderbird legend. :)

It’s cold and calm I feel it right in my veins
Making its way to my heart

Slowly

Every second a ghost
It haunts my lonely soul
Scaring my strength away

Slowly

Why do I have to
To wear this blanket of blues
My skin it’s frozen and yet

Slowly

More of the ice keep enveloping me
I’m falling to the depths

Slowly

It’s so cold and it’s so calm I can’t feel my veins.

When depression hits you, you'll be sent in a cold, dark and miserable state.
