Analysis of Dreams Drift
Lost thoughts,
Separated from the soul,
Looking into the depth,
Of the darkest hole,
Swallowing every emotion,
Unbareable to feel,
Convincing onesself,
Sadness isn't real,
Erasing all,
That doesn't fade,
Followed by,
An image made of shade,
Stolen dreams,
Rest in peace,
To be only to,
Exist to cease,
With only so much strength,
Only so much will,
Living in situations,
With the force to kill,
Using numb as,
A form of defense,
To avoid the hurt hanging in suspense,
Dreams drift,
Becoming one with the air,
Never again to sleep,
So down that tear ................BAD-Mc..
