Dream Once Again

If I could dream once again

I'd escape the torture of the black night,

Depart from the rage of the day

Whose vision is to maul my soul

until I believe in no one.

And when I feel the bad end coming,

I scream.

I scream the words,

That were once whispers from my heart.

Some days, they grow louder

Some days, they subside

Some days, they shake me to my core.

I know,

It will never leave my side.

Until I find a weapon to vanquish it,

They will forever stay here,

Quick to pounce in,

Quick to kill if I'm weak.

Quick to extinguish my heart if I wish it.

Although, Cruel as it is, I let it help me.

I taunt it to chase me.

Let it try,

And it will

Chase me to the ends of the Earth.

This is my only way

To make me scamper to the place

Where I could dream once again.
