With Hope and Fear

By Laura
Janaury 3, 2016

I'm still dreaming of the future
And how it won't work without her
I'm still feeling the past inside me
Seeing the girl that I'll never ever be

Homeless, drifting through black hues
With love drugs that turn my lips blue
Picking pieces off of the hard, dead floor
Haven't felt warm since the cold pacific shore

Sometimes my mind drifts away
Sometimes I just don't know what to say
I wish I could show you what I see
The beauty I find in the depths of disease

Wisdom for days, but scars for years
Praying for faith to replace the tears
Maybe its not to late to find another way
When life is not so hard, and I run out of things to say
