And Once Again My Dreams Take Flight

And once again my dreams take flight
A light heart on strong wings
Of love.
My eyes close - your image dances
Over my darkened retinas
I smile.
And once again my dreams take flight
And soar with hope and happiness
And love?
The world falls silent - it's your voice I hear
Echoing in the lonely cavity of my mind
I smile.
And once again my dreams take flight
But this time it's changed
My love.
I'm scared and wary, dubious of trust,
It's you who can change me
I smile.
And once again my dreams take flight
A full heart on beating wings
Of love.

And Death Seems The Only Way Out

And death seems the only way out
When hope fades
And life is hard to bear;
The razor is the only friend,
The pool of water,
The utter destruction.

And death seems the only way out
When love leaves
And despair rules the moment;
The mound of drugs,
The knife's kiss,
The utter destruction.

And death seems the only way out,
The single option,
The perfect escape.
Will you miss me?
Will everything change?
With utter destruction.

'And death seems the only way out'
What will you think?
Will you cry?
Will you need me?
Will love strike you like lightning?
Or creep like a destroying frost?

24 hours later
I still
catch your smell
as I walk.
Your sweat caught
in my hair
being blown by the wind.
Your cologne
mingled with my perfume
trailing behind.
If I close my eyes
you're here.
If I close my eyes
I still
feel your body's warmth
nestled against my spine.
If I close my eyes
you never
dropped me off this morning
and you never
read that text
and I never
asked that question.
24 hours later
it's changedbut still
so much the same.
