My Kindred Spirit

Drifiting into the land of dreams
Where shadows and light become one
Where sometimes hate turns to love
And where water can turn into blood.

You came to convey a message
That only I can  understand.
Nobody else there to help you
No one around to help you stand.

Somebody burned you once again
Your battle scars say it all
Someone set up for a trap
Then laughed as you trip and fall.

Behind the sunny smiling mouth
Lays someone with a broken heart
Behind the shell of this man
Stands a soul that's been torn apart.

Behind the twinkle of his eyes
There is a sadness nobody knows
He hides his pain behind laughter
So that the hurt will never show.

You came to me for a reason
Even if it's only when I'm alseep
Your spirit is communicating with mine
Because in the flesh we never speak.
