I walk down the street and every face,

I see is yours,

My pace gets quicker as the rain pours,

I run

Running, running

STOP.

I'm here,

The core of my fear,

Slides, Swings, Sea-saw.

Love, Laughter,Life.

It's a forbidden toy in a glass container,

I see it but can never feel it.

My ususal seat, under some branch of a distorted tree,

The branches reaching for its hope,

Its life force strangled by a green rope,

If I look close enough I can see its Desperation, its Pain.

So, I close my eyes.

But.

I see you,

My hope,

My life,

My rope.

You're a ghost that won't stop haunting me,

Your raven hair,

Your angelic features with a devilish charm,

A cat with plenty of cream.

You are my Nightmare.

You were My Dream.
