Dreamcatcher
dreamcatcher, dreamcatcher catch me a dream
a pretty, shiny, lovely thing
a siren song that gleams
let it cover up the ugly parts
the mismatched cloth and clumsy stitches
shoved underneath the bed to hide
something so malicious
needlepoint, embroidery
the memory of broken seams
it's hard to breathe
please set me free
tangled and strangled
torn up and mangled
strung in a cobweb of suture thread
bleeding out and left for dead
dreamcatcher, dreamcatcher catch me a dream
make it the sweetest that I've ever seen
a patchwork of fabric drawn tight in a bow
distract everyone from the nightmare below
