I DREAMED ALL THOSE DREAMS

I dream all those dreams

where I hear painful screams,

those voices that clash and crash

like broken glass, is finding its way back,

I know they are only voices from my past

those were some of my biggest fear

that lasted all these years

left me in the pouring of tears,

I must face those images

no matter the disgrace

they too will turn to dust

I try never to make much of a fuse.

I ask myself over and over

why did I let them in my heart

Now, I must face the hurt that stands so near

that has been cutting away at my wellbeing,-

I'm tired of tip-toeing around in the dark

while having my mind played on

by a person that is more like a beast

that loves to feed on all my fears

they're comfortable telling me lies

just to see my spirit die.
