These days I mostly dream in ghosts. I do this so you haunt me. I knew so many parts of you, even those you didn't want me to.    So young then, with such small hands.    No pain on them yet remarked.    How could it be those same small hands    could guide my aimless dark? These ways I wander caused her to wonder if I was hunted or I, the hunter. But she's not afraid of sinking ships, she fears the thought of going under.    Her eyes were set to show me      all the lives we'd lived before.    Her mind was set on love and lovers.      But my heart was full of war. The shame it seems, is while I dream should be the only view, to let me see the frames that feature scenes of me and you.    Shame, our bodies left our souls    to grow apart and so alone then.    But hearts, it happens, aren't so big    that small hands cannot hold them.    So until the time when we align, until    a version of you and yours is mine, a life    where we are is 'we're' and we are 'we';    Hold my hands in graveyard dreams.    -@NoMortalDreams-

Small Hands
These days I mostly dream in ghosts. I do this so you haunt me. I knew so many parts of you, even those you didn't want me to.    So young then, with such small hands.    No pain on them yet remarked.    How could it be those same small hands    could guide my aimless dark? These ways I wander caused her to wonder if I was hunted or I, the hunter. But she's not afraid of sinking ships, she fears the thought of going under.    Her eyes were set to show me      all the lives we'd lived before.    Her mind was set on love and lovers.      But my heart was full of war. The shame it seems, is while I dream should be the only view, to let me see the frames that feature scenes of me and you.    Shame, our bodies left our souls    to grow apart and so alone then.    But hearts, it happens, aren't so big    that small hands cannot hold them.    So until the time when we align, until    a version of you and yours is mine, a life    where we are is 'we're' and we are 'we';    Hold my hands in graveyard dreams.    -@NoMortalDreams-
