Wounded in Dream Land

Sometimes, in the bitter cold of my own subconscious
I feel a pain so sharp, that if not for those around me I would scream in pain
Other times I feel so absolutely nothing that I can't take in words
Those words others speak go through me like the ghosts of sleep
This form is the only one that means anything to me now

I’m going hot and cold in my own soul, frozen to melting it wavers
I hope I make slight sense; my waters are on the contours of your map now
Find your compass rose and follow me in to lead me back out
Pull me friend, out of the blacken waters to those sparkling with sun
I hide, much like the phantom, behind a mask that defines who I am

Though it doesn't seem right yet, I find myself falling in love with the notion of falling in love
What does that mean for my bleeding and mending insides that don't rest?
Night to day and day to night sun to moon and over again and again
I feel the illusion of caring eyes looking upon my face once more this day
But what if I peeled my mask off, till I exposed all of myself to the world

Could they take what they would find- or would they shutter at what humanity truly is
Why does something that should mean the most in the world mean nothing anymore?
Are we so far gone as a race that we believe the fantastic fairy tales of childhood
Read me now- tell me who I am, you see don't you, you see my beast behind my beauty
And the boys I protect and figure out with my mind and heart say I have inner beauty

Right to my face and they say they don't want to cause me pain like the one they've seen in my eyes
But they don't know that I carry all of their burdens on my shoulders with my own
And I pray to the heavens asking how I can bear my own grief with another’s
I feel in my room, when I’m alone, darkness of more than just the tangible kind
What has become of me, the warm drink I sip is the only warmth that I am given

I stuck my bare hand into your rip cage and fished around until I found your heart ripped it out tore it apart while saying You dont need this anymore

it was good i liked it but i did find it hard to read with the lnes being so long i found that there should have been breaks in the lines where there was none so the rhymning that i found didn't match up if you get what i mean take the sentence and where you feel the break put the rest on the next line i think that would help alot but very good write
