The Inevitable Future

'It's not the broken dreams that break us, It's the ones that we didn't dare to dream.'
The same path I once took,
The same people I once knew,
The same effervescent surroundings I once drank in,
Now struggling to stay alive,
In a tiny corner of my mind.
The tranquility of mind,
Frowns at the memory,
Glaring at it,
As if to tell it to hush down.
The memory shrinks back in fear,
But a moment later it stands up,
Glares right back and decides to fight.
To stay alive, to show me that its still there for me
It won't leave me alone, No matter what I do.
I sigh, and let the memory flow in my mind's eye.
I see the path, the people.
I see their faces and their love for me.
And then I see the face
The face I grew to love and hate at the same time.
I try to shove it away,
But it doesn't go away,
Said face is trying to tell me something,
Its trying to tell me that,
'I tried to be there, I couldn't, I'm sorry'
I see myself running away from the scene,
From the face. 
From the malice, the pain, the overbearing silence,
Right back into his arms.

Spinning, Dancing, Laughing, Crying

'Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it'
The above line isn't written by me but as soon as I read it, I loved it and came up with this:
I searched everywhere for him,
Him, who appears in my dreams,
With the laughing eyes which twinkle like the stars,
With the smile full of happiness like an ocean full of water,
With the laughter of a lion 
And a mind full of euphoric thoughts,
With the emotional range of a teaspoon,
 And the constant confused expression over my moods,
With the understanding of a sea lion,
But the brain of a mad scientist,
With the empathy of a butcher's knife,
But the kind heart of St.Valentine,
With the friendliness of a crab,
But the loyalty that a knight feels towards it's king,
He consistently appears in my dreams,
Makes my head spin around,
It's like I'm taking off of the ground,
Laughing and spinning and shouting with him,
Then, one day I realized,
I already have this,
I have this boy,
The same eyes,laughter,smile
The heart, the emotions and the loyalty,
He was right in front of me, smiling all along,
Waiting for me to realize.

Nightmare

A sliver of dark light creeping through the crack,
Like an evil mist waiting to engulf me,
A breath of cool wind flowing through the air,
The numbness fading from my fingers,
Flash of lightning illuminates the room.
Slowly swinging my legs o the floor,
Curling my toes in response to the cold,
Trembling, shaking, shivering I stand.
I take the first step.. and stumble
I fall and land on my knees and palms,
A shrill sound escapes me.
I hear footsteps running, running ... running
Someone trips and curses, I flinch.
I flinch and get up hurriedly, clumsily making my way to the window,
Trying to find a way to escape,
To get away from him, it,
This horrible, terrifying monster.
The sound of the footsteps turn louder and louder,
I open the window, duck out and stand on the ledge.
The door crashes open, he runs in,
I jump while he tries to catch me, his hand outstretched,
And then, miraculously, I wake up.
