Shield me from catastrophe. /
Silent lungs and final weeps. /
Send my monsters back to sleep."

Hollow Dream

Love. Love can be so lame sometimes. Love can be what you desire the most. She claimed a love that never could be hers, and even in her deep dreams, her love was still chaotic. She dreamt of a life that could never be hers and had illusions of the ones she could never have; she feared the loneliness, but it eventually caught up to her; she wanted love so desperately, more from her parents, but recklessly it came up not to her; the twisted lies and reality had found her and dragged her to the aimless situation. She tried so hard to fight back; even in her dreams she knew she couldn't escape; she saw the one she loves fly away, and then she knew as well that was her sorrow.
