A smile fades, broken, scared Joyful eyes are closing no hope of opening again Breaths are hitched, caught in the back of a sore and swollen throat Hands rest by the side, loose and no longer moving Running feet now still, in the air Rosy cheeks now pale, dark in the royalty of purple Pencil next to paper, cold from lack of use Paper crumpled around the splintering wood unable to hold the correct words An ocean of crimson rubies cover the toppled chair Skin pale holding no color or sign of memories Croaking stairs as feet climb to the top A soft breeze by the open window Creaking of a hinge only to be followed by a loud crack Stiffness hung in the air, unable to move A name called 1...2....3 A hand reaching out to hold what they cannot touch Mind racing yet no movement is made Like floodgates during a violent storm of rage eyes open The creaking comes to a stop Wind stops howling soft violent tunes The mind still, lurking and waiting Eyes widen as they move, a burnt wooden desk still pungent yet soothing The chair still in its place, standing near the door Hands grip the soft, soothing texture A sigh, a breath, a welcoming, musical sound to the ear A smile plays on the red lips "Only a dream." It speaks "Only a memory."

Once a dream now a memory
A smile fades, broken, scared Joyful eyes are closing no hope of opening again Breaths are hitched, caught in the back of a sore and swollen throat Hands rest by the side, loose and no longer moving Running feet now still, in the air Rosy cheeks now pale, dark in the royalty of purple Pencil next to paper, cold from lack of use Paper crumpled around the splintering wood unable to hold the correct words An ocean of crimson rubies cover the toppled chair Skin pale holding no color or sign of memories Croaking stairs as feet climb to the top A soft breeze by the open window Creaking of a hinge only to be followed by a loud crack Stiffness hung in the air, unable to move A name called 1...2....3 A hand reaching out to hold what they cannot touch Mind racing yet no movement is made Like floodgates during a violent storm of rage eyes open The creaking comes to a stop Wind stops howling soft violent tunes The mind still, lurking and waiting Eyes widen as they move, a burnt wooden desk still pungent yet soothing The chair still in its place, standing near the door Hands grip the soft, soothing texture A sigh, a breath, a welcoming, musical sound to the ear A smile plays on the red lips "Only a dream." It speaks "Only a memory."
