I am no one,
I am nothing..
I am a shadow of the past
With no hope of a future,
With only dreams to keep company with..

We grow restless during the night
As shadows line the walls
Of an apartment we share with strangers.
Clear as water, this poison stains my lips,
Burning me from the inside of an empty glass bottle.
The night’s delights have faded and left my mind a little fuzzy,
Like the static on the tv.
Those dreaming are better left as they are:
In a world where everyone knows them

Every poem I’ve written was of you.
Of the love that I feel that will always be true.
Despite the past, there’s always a future,
Brighter than ever,
It’s now or never.
I take this vow, knowing the risk.
To me it’s nothing,
It’s everything,
It’s bliss.

Dare they wonder of the other side
Passed rusted chain links and swallowed pride
Through endless fields of grasses much greener
Than the hopes and dreams of a life much sweeter

As the seasons changed, so did the view
Of the closed gate doors that locked me from you
Curiosity killed the cat, they say
As she edged a little closer, a little farther and then one day..
She hopped that fence and led herself astray

There was no turning back to the life she knew
She had risked so much just to see you
But yet,  you were nowhere to be seen
There was nothing there,nothing but a dream and the grass....
The grass that now seems  a little less green
