I fell asleep last November
I dreamt uncontrollable dreams,
dreams I try not to remember
easier said than done it seems.
I saw things that I had never believed in
of a broken person much like myself
I caved under beautiful temptation
craving joy more than anything else
Days grew short and nights stretched long
I forgot the meaning of "self-aware"
the strings of serenity played their song
rhapsody as that could not have been fair
The wonders of deep dark shadows
glinted from far behind his eyes
emotions he felt even within his marrow
compelled him to feed out rotten lies
The glory that had once been the cleanest
then wasted to sunken ashes
yet the lacking of the phoenix
had left everlasting scratches
I fell asleep last November
I dreamt of terribly horrific dreams
dreams that I am forced to remember
fresh in my memory they gleam
A.G.
