Maybe nowhere
Maybe somewhere
All I know is,
I'll get there
Dru Jul 28
In shadows deep where secrets lie,
A nefarious plot begins to brew.
With whispers soft, beneath the sky,
A wicked scheme, both dark and new.
Through twisting lanes and moonlit glades,
He weaves his web with cunning art.
A master of deceitful masquerades,
To break the trusting, innocent heart.
His smile, a mask, so smooth and grand,
Concealing malice, cold and keen.
A serpent's guile, throughout the land,
A villain's triumph, yet unseen.
But fate, it watches, ever near,
And justice sleeps not in the night.
Though darkness reigns, and brings forth fear,
The dawn shall break, with cleansing light.
For truth will pierce the deepest gloom,
And bring to naught his evil reign.
The nefarious plot will meet its doom,
And virtue rise, from toil and pain.

Just a shred of truth.
What you bring to the table.
I am still hungry.

“I’m in love with you,” he says in a dream
“I won’t leave you again,” he whispers in a haze
“I’ve always cared,” he breathes in a fantasy
“This time it’s real,” he mumbles as I slowly slip away
And I’ll stare down at my pillow
And cry
Because I lost him once again
I can’t stop having dreams about a boy I miss. I feel so safe with him until I wake up and feel the pain of losing him all over again. I want those dreams to be real and everlasting.

Kids worry about the monsters under the bed
The monsters in the wardrobe
The monsters found in the dark

I worry about the monsters in my head
The monsters found in my temporal lobe
Most of all, I worry about the monsters that leave their invisible mark

I'm still in love with you
No matter what I try and do
I just can't get over you

You live rent free in my thoughts
Memories and pain are all that's wrought
Still I remember all the dreams we sought

Sometimes I feel so lost
From all the lines you crossed
Despite the detrimental cost

I'm still in love with you
No matter what I try and do
I just can't get over you

I’m not thrilled of open water
I always liked my feet on dry land.
But the days are getting hotter,
I’ll have to deal with my toes in sand.

Dreams got me thinking of a sun
so hot it could toast my skin.
Stick a fork in me and call me done,
and let the feast begin.

Sometimes I think and sometimes I wish
that I had the courage to just jump ship,
and pray that the sirens
would guide me to the islands.
The water’s fine to take a dip,
do I have the courage to jump ship?
I’ll be searching for the sirens,
hoping I can still find them.

I get pulled in with currents of my emotion,
I gave up swimming as soon as it started.
Because who in this world can fight the ocean,
when it wants you to be departed?

Dreams got me thinking of palm trees,
leafs so big they create a world of shade.
Feeling of a nice summer breeze
cutting me up like a razor blade.

Sometimes I hope the fabric of reality will rip,
and that I gain the courage to just jump ship,
and pray that the sirens
would guide me to the islands.
Teeth are shaking just like my lip
do I have the courage to jump ship?
I’ll be searching for the sirens
hoping I can still find them.

I want to live amongst the waves shining
like gold paint,
but I’ll only ever find my silver lining
if I become an angel or a saint.
Yet I’ll hope that the sirens
can take my demons and blind them.
