she sat there
rocking me in her arms
like my mother
or big sister
she smelled dully of ginger
and her voice filled the room
with a fogginess to it
i couldn't explain
and it was like i was a child
her daughter maybe
and she wrapped pearls around
my neck
and she slipped her hand through
my hair
and she laughed
the softest laugh and hummed again
and my eyes were closed
the whole time
until finally i opened them wide
and she became my mother again
trying to shade my eyes
and protect me from the world
but i pushed her hand away
and i saw
a million frowns
the air was foggy
and musty and full of light
and there was everyone
i ever knew and loved
in my life
trying to yell and reach out to me
and silently i heard them
and their voices reached my mind
she'll kill you
they screamed
and yet i knew it was true
but i didn't want to know
so i pushed them out of my mind
and all was well again
i had been like that for days
and days, in denial
and two days later
she killed me
slipped a knife through my throat
silently and laughed
that soft laughed
and moved on to another one
another person to betray
and i should have listened to them
but i didn't
and this is life my friend
beware of the woman
with the soft voice
and the beautiful hair
because she'll make you
betray everyone you love
then she'll betray you
and you'll be just another lost soul
wondering the lights of heaven
this was partly based on a dream i had last night. it was such a wonderful yet horrible dream and yet i still have to find the meaning...

life may just take a while but i guess heaven's worth the wait

Freaky...
If I had that dream I'd haul ass!
Dreams are the weirdest ... this one time... I had this really scary dream about scorpions and ... well, there's no need to explain.
Dreams (not always, but some of the time) have meanings.
Like I had this dream that my ex boyfriend shot me, then he broke up with me a day later ... maybe a coincidence...
God, I need to shut up.
Anyway,
Great poem
I really liked it!
... ew ... it's so freaky though...
I'd be careful around your Mom ... lol

i don't think that my mom has anything to do with what happened in the dream. in the dream i wrote about it wasn't me in the place of being in that person's arms but my neighbor...i also remember the dream had to do with religion and this lady was trying to get molly (my neighbor) to join her religion or cult and then she killed her...it was so scary...i need to shut up too!

your poetry buddy, lol
