The Whole Week In a Dream

Nightmares are haunting our thoughts,
Dimness is taking place of our feelings,
Our souls forsaken our quivering bodies,
Leaving us empty inside,

Imminent tears are about to fall, I felt,
As my soul tried to elude this tragedy
I escaped, running away from myself,
Into lives of the unknown,

I felt my soul dissolving into darkness,
As it dispersed into ashen tears,
That reflected another life
For my eyes to see,

A colorless room,
Killed by the sorrowful darkness,
While re-living by the growing lies
That always took place,

Quick glances,
Showing me familiar faces,
Lived moments,
 All coming back to me,

All I heard, were the violent beats of my heart,
That blinded me from seeing,
That segregated reality,
Changing the meaning of “the Truth”

Long hours of sadness,
Expressed by lonely seconds of pain,

Awakened, reviving from this terrifying dream,
I splashed the tender drops of water on my face,  and
Took a deep breath,
Ready to live a new mystery…
