The heart hurts...

When you wake up from a Nightmare, when you wake up screaming from a Nightmare and no one hears you.

When there is no one lying next to you, no one to hold you and whisper in the dark that everything is ok, to just breathe.

The heart hurts...

My heart hurts.

I wish Magic were real

I wish Elves lived next door and Fairies really had wings and Dragons roared through the skies

I wish Witches flew on broom sticks and Sirens really did sing and that Magic coated the air in a multitude of colors

I wish Genies granted three wishes and that time travel were possible and Mermaids swam with dolphins

I wish a Pegasus could give me a ride while I watched Unicorns grazing through open fields below us

I wish Water Sprites danced in our waters and Fire Nymphs danced in our flames

I wish I still saw through the eyes of a child and my very, very best imaginary friend would come for a visit

I wish I still danced in my underwear and dreamed about finding my Prince Charming

But most of all I wish I could take a leap, jump out on faith, SOAR THROUGH THE SKIES and just FLY

Maybe

Just Maybe

I still can

I am lost today
Lost in the sea of my own mind
I am drowning, gasping for air
Frantically clawing at the sea for escape

I am so afraid
Eyes wide open and still I can not see
The darkness is all consuming
Enveloping me into its icy embrace

It's so cold
Goose bumps rise on my flesh
My hands tremble
The cold steals the breath from my lungs

I can not speak
I open my mouth wide
I scream
I hear nothing

I am lost
