My Something
by J.Sage (9/18/00)
protected by copyright


Disturbed
By life and by dreams
I want to close my eyes and see light
White light
The kind, the only kind
That could wash away the dreams
And maybe my reality

Pitch black fantasies can't wash away
Blood red love memories
Any more than the light I have inside of me
So I need something
The right kind of something
To help me

Help me see nothing
For a moment of my time
Cover up the grime and the ghost
Of our intensity
I need a bright something
The kind that might set me free

The tunnel is dark
The finish line is bleak
And I'm done with the time behind me
Something wash the tracks for me
Kill the beast behind me
Light up the possibilities ahead of me

Blinders
Down or up I see
That I still need serenity
No kind of anything
Other than me
Right now
Could possibly spark my sanity

So in my dreams and my reality
No kind of light
No colorful dream
No finish line
Will change the fact
That the only hope I have right now
Is me

Yet,
Dead in the night
Dark alive
Eyes wide
I continue to seekā€¦
For my something that won't save me.

I love the darkness and the want, the need, for the light, maybe to cast upon a dream, maybe to cover the darkness seeping inside.  Disturbed, yes, deeply disturbing, and I like it!

thank you, Glorybox.  One of the reasons I posted this one is because it was also an experient.  It's not my typical style.  But, I'm glad you liked it!

Very good

you have out done  yourself
great piece I think we all seek
something that seems impossible to have.
