The Dream (part 1) in Poetry

I can see the light
Slowly fade into darkness
I’ve chosen to drift away
From a world that
Blinded the image of
Who I am
And as I begin to decay
My mind becomes astray

I’ve chosen to fall apart
In a dream
I thought I would never be
I heard a voice
Crawling through
The silence of my mind
And the thoughts
Echo on and on
Replaying forgotten memories
I cannot escape
So the horrors plague my mind
Time after time

A black widow takes me in
The venom soaks inside
Words I can never find
I’m poisoned with pain
And I feel
If I want to save my life
I must outline my face
With a knife
And peel it off
So you can see the scars
That is forever inside of me

I’ll be okay
Or that’s what they say
Please leave me here
In this dream
For I wish to die
In my tears of
No love or hope
Because I’ve disconnected myself
From the only person
I was
And I can no longer see
The pain inside
My crystalized blue eyes
