Open arms grasping hands nothing there
Eyes looking heart searching wondering where
Heart beat echoing a lonely mind full of dead sounds
Looking for life but only ghostly spirits
Of another time in my world
Daylight vanishes leaving cold darkness as night falls
Empty dreams loveless lives call
Come be in my dreams
But stay out of my nightmare
You don’t want to be in my nightmares
Cold of lonely seeps in bringing in the dread
Stealing my breath waking up dreams a long time dead
Giving into pressures that undermine my sanity
The end is in plain view if I don’t stop I’ll run right into infinity
Lost still one more dream ~ my worlds coming apart at the seams
You can come into my world but don’t give me any dreams
It will just turn into a nightmare
My reality no longer matters ~ my life is of no consequence
Giving up on dreams and schemes giving up on life
Giving into the manifest of evil allowing it to strive
It is the only thing that makes me feel alive
Watching friends walk away
No hearing from them as days pass away
Not really caring as I turn to accept the inevitable
Allowing the cold dark of night ~ take over my life
You hear no cries ~ only the hopelessness of silence
I will do you a favor of walking away
Not to turn your life dark with the shadow of me
I shall walk away into the world beyond the grasp of memory
In to the world of the forgotten
So stay out of my dreams ~ or become just one more nightmare

I know for sure that this friend wouldn't just walk by.
Wishing you nothing but sweet dreams my friend, you deserve them.

Summon the courage to step out of your familiar rut and suddenly many of those things which held you back will no longer have the power to do so.

There is much power in these stated words but I pray you open your heart to allow the love of friendship to come in.  

Love opens hearts ... doubt destroys lives.
