::Claim Me::
Sleep is trying to claim me
I fight to keep it off
Dreams are trying to take me
I write to stay awake
I fear the pain that awaits me
When my eyes close to the light
I fear the thought of waking
And looking at my life
An altered life I found in dreams
But the dreams turned to torment me
Wanting to sleep not to dream
Wanting to cry not to scream
Wanting someone to rescue me

::Marisol Stage Left::
She blinks and wakes
To a new existence
Shadowed
Rainy
Lonely
She blinks again
She must be dreaming
Nightmares
Night terrors
Bad Trip
Blink, Blink
Hot tears bleed from
Green eyes streaked red
Dropping
Searing
Not drying
She blinks and blinks
She realized
Marisol
Exited stage left
Maybe she will come again in the spring
Only Clyde knows….

They are always in the back of my mind
I hate to write always of screams
SCREAM….. you can never scream loud enough
Can screams somehow release your pain?
It never works for me
But… I continue to scream
My mind screams and screams
As I scream I smile at you and you think everything is fine
Do you scream in silence as well?

::Night Whispers::
I feel the wind whisper in my ears
It brings a chill that I feel deep within my bones
It’s whispers are hollow like a disembodied voice
Telling me of my folly
Laughing at my tears
Scolding me for my feelings
The wind blows through my air
Icy wisps that crawl down my neck
That sink into my skin
Filling me with the coldness of death
Biting my skin
Stinging my eyes
And invisible presence on this somber night
It taunts me
Reminds me
Mocks me
GO AWAY, I scream
Let me be in my hell
I do not need to remember
For it is branded on my lips
The touch of him
I scream to no avail at the haunting wind

Today is not a good day
One of those old school
un-medicated feeling fatal days
that give you the shakes
Sitting with Mr. Sun
Not helping
Started crying
Can’t say why
Tears just keep rolling down my face
No sleep for four days
Was dancing on white waves
One of those days
When you feel the ground
Crumble beneath your feet
It’s not in my best interest
To be alone today
How can I drive
With teardrop eyes?
Feels like I am falling
That dark pit I used to love
The Red River misses me
Everyone says I am so strong
today is not a good day
I hate to sob
I don’t want nightmares
when I sleep
