Dreams And Silver Tears

by Toni   Jun 20, 2005


Dusk draws near as I hide away
Struggling in my plight to escape each day
The moon rises above, illuminating my tears
Painfully dancing, enhancing my fears

I wrap my arms around myself
Pretending that they are from somebody else
But I still wake, to find I’m alone
Ripped from the dying dreams I have sown

And all this aching is making me ill
I’m dying inside whilst you hand me a pill
3 more pills with each letter I wrote
Tear stains upon, a suicide note

Sobbing until dreams carry me away
Stealing my night and haunting my day
Falling and shaking, hands curled in a fist
Eyes open wide, in the cold sombre mist

Dawn cascades upon grey shaded eyes
The night has left, and forgotten her cries
Soaked in the dense silver hue, of the night
Diffused into the chilling moonlight

The sun soars again, up into the sky
Shining upon each shivering sigh
Silver tears, escape with no name
Silver tears, continue my pain

- About my night terrors x

    I'm doing fantastic, Toni. Time away from all of the drama on this site, although I did miss everyone, it gave me time to recooperate. And I feel so much stronger.....annnd.....:-D.....I fell in love last night with THE sweetest guy on earth and omg...lol. I loved him a while, I just got it off my chest last night. It was truly adorable, the things we told each other, lol! But I've never been happier.

    LOL! Oliver's grammar reminded me of a robot, like how everyword was spelled out, there were no words like don't, can't, could've (I forget what they're called), but it just made me laugh, lol.

    I really hope you don't need to go to the hospital. You don't belong in a place like that, Toni. And what would they do for you? Personally, I think this is something you need to recover on your own, but if it's serious, then I guess that help couldn't hurt, right? Anyway, I'm sorry if I got in your business, it wasn't my place, I know. Please get back to me soon!! I hope you get this, too, lol.

    Another grabbing poem. My lungs were shriveling from breathlessness, lol. I've started to write a story called Silver Tears, and I was wondering if I could use this. of course I'd dedicate it to you, lol. But everything you said was so relevant, it was uncanny. Stay wonderful!!!!
