A Bottle For a Dream
I writhe inside this sentiment--
A ghost of all I lost
The words I wrote were sealed and sent
Regardless of the cost
Dysfunction thrives inside my heart--
With empathy as vice
I'm just the one to play this part
What lust did I entice?
Until this day, I dared to dream--
And, lost my weary mind
Although I learned to plot and scheme:
The blind had led the blind
I never question why I stayed
My demons always scream:
'How could you pose this vexing trade:
A bottle for a dream?'...
