Scream {Etheree}

by xTheEcstasyOfSuicidex   Sep 4, 2006


Scream
Dreamer
Cry to me;
Do not be scared.
Please; scream your heart out,
Let us see you burn, cry,
Let's see your burning soul die.
We are watching your every move -
Passing you by to watch you closely
Not letting you out of our only sight.

Scream as loud as you can my dear dreamer,
Hold on tightly to what you now have;
Now never let go of your dreams.
But - scream as loud as you can,
Listen to your heartbeat;
Hurt yourself dreamer.
Let your heart go,
I dare you,
Dreamer,
Scream.

    I absolutely LOVE the last four lines of this poem. There are many different ways to interpret them, although I'm not sure if you meant it that way.

    In fact, the entire second part is amazing. It seems eerily concerned yet dangerously entincing.

    5/5... incredible.
