Only In Dreams
There she was,
Young and broken and afraid.
Hiding behind a mask
Built to save face.
Depression rained heavy,
Heavier and heavier by the day.
Not an end in sight,
No way to end the pain.
Every person who built her up
Just to knock her down,
Every man she dared to trust,
Every friend she dared to have,
Lead to this one moment.
In this moment sight went away
Hearts melted
Pain faded
In this moment she was whole.
For too many years to count
She hid behind her mask,
She let the world fall,
She built her walls.
For too many years to count
She was alone in a crowd,
Covered by her shroud
Afraid to be loud.
Afraid to be herself,
Afraid to cause a scene,
Afraid of a world
Which couldn’t see.
But in this moment,
He was hers.
In this moment,
She was his.
And in these moments
Few and far between,
In these moments,
Together they stayed
Sight Unseen.
Together they stayed,
In their dreams.
