June 9th.

And so it goes

Step by step 

And down, and down, and down

Into the depths

A dreamscape no one else knows. 

 

And I’d like to be

Step by step

Up, and up, and up 

Away from the nightmare replayed 

Dreamscape, no - push repeat on reality. 

 

And so I fight back

Push and kick 

Harder and harder and harder

And so do they, until I can’t any longer 

Until the resistance is futile, lost in the night. 

 

And it’s these memories

They are not dead

Just living in my head

Deep within my dreams

That place in purgatory where 

Trauma invades sleepy sanctity. 

 

And I wake 

Eye by eye 

Up, and up, and up

And even though the tears linger

Fists clenched for semi-fictional fights 

The truth of it all still aches.

 

But darlin’, sush - blink twice 

And again, and again, and again

Pretty green eyes 

Don’t forget, here and now 

This is paradise 

(You promise to look for your mistakes).
