Dreams are like people,

cloaked in darkness,

and hiding behind

fragile masks.



In other words,

they are a reflection

of our secret thoughts and

inner selves.



And not just in the

dreams, but in the

nightmares

too



do we find our deepest

sadness, fear,

and even

desires lurking in the dark.



But even now,

for some unexplainable

reason,

I like the darkness.



There's something

unspoken about the

danger, the quiet,

the cold.



Something terrifyingly beautiful,

almost like

death,

but then again...



When the dreamer

dies,

*what happens to the

dream?

It may seem strange,

but sometimes,

I watch you sleep.



Seeing you lie there,

dreaming.

It seems to be



the little bit

of peace I

have left.

You are my life,

You are my love.


Reciprocate it.
Leia R Jun 2014
This one feeling,

is one I truly

U N D E R S T A N D.



I'm just empty,

Disconnected from

E V E R Y T H I N G.



And for a moment,

it's as if I don't

E X I S T.

As I look in the

Mirror,

I don't see myself.



I only see what I

Believe

myself to be.



And occasionally I

Wonder

what it took,



To make me this kind of

"Me"

I miss what we had,

I miss how I felt,

And now I see you with someone else.



I miss all those moments,

of just you,

and me.



And to you,

now I'm just,

A memory.

I love how when you visit

You sit on the other couch silently

Reading your book



How every minute or so

I hear the flipping of flimsy

Pages



Sometimes, when I glance at you

I see different emotions passing

Across your face



I love to watch you change position

As you shift your body

Across the sofa



I love how you bury yourself

Into the literature so that you

Don’t even hear me talk



But that’s okay because

Watching you quietly is

All I really need.
