I Call Her Name

I call her name in my sleep No, not this day The gods won't let me be Death will be my escape From all the madness All this madness from dreams No, not this day They won't leave me at peace I call out to her from my sleep I reach for her, and she is there My comfort zone, I pull her close It calms me to no end. She says nothing even though I know I've pulled her away from her lucid dreams again ~ I need her, my angel of light It's true, I need her there to save me Save me from dreams of the grave I'm standing closer every time I sleep She is the only one who saves me from this fate From falling into this grave I dug for me. 7/15/2000 my X used to have dreams of his grave,,,, he was always waking me, must have been his line of work.

Visiting again. Another four years gone by. Have we changed? I think I have had a revelation regarding what I want to do with the rest of my days--nothing special. When I was young, I wanted to change the world. I have realized just how difficult that is. We can only really act upon that which is near to us.

Sounds like this was a bit of a pain. He was very lucky to have had you. So where is he now? I hope he didn't see his wish granted. The perspective here is different and unexpected. A lot of fun on some level.
