The Inner Workings of a Happy Girl

In My Dreams

Dedicated to Indie! You rock:)

***

I close my eyes, but nothing awaits me,

Darkness and silence, the colors evade me,

Aches, pains, a heart that's grown sore,

And simply because I don't dream anymore;

Waiting for something, time ticks away,

Darkness is fading, not willing to stay,

But light isn't coming, the sky remains dull,

But I'm used to the dark; I don't dream anymore;

Missing a notion that's all in my head,

Paintings unpainted, and stories unread,

And there is no outlet, a mind with no door,

And it's all because I don't dream anymore;

Where is my light? Where does my dreamland reside?

Has it run from me? Found a reason to hide?

May it find me again. I want to believe.

I pray that someday, again I will dream.
