2am Nightmare I went and laid my head against your chest, but you weren't there and hatred lurked among the shadows... and pain reached up through roots I had buried I screamed and clawed until I no longer had a voice and fingers were raw.... but ice cold tile stains crimson when evil comes home and reminds me once again I'm nothing "...I am a river in winter, quiet in the eyes of most but deep, swift and full of life to one, lucky enough to fall through the ice. |

Well...you're certainly not nothing... but of course, this is only a poetical expression - still..a reassurance... I like this - I like the change in format, and I like the flow. You hide the dark undertones with subtlety...yet this is a dark, hurting piece. Well done.

Oh, I'm so sorry you had such a scary nightmare! But it's only a dream, and you are certainly not nothing, you are a beautiful person witha golden heart that shines with purity! Excellent poem, my friend, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |
