7:28 P.M.
I took a catnap and had a bad dream that I was bleeding to death in a small, free standing, white bath tub.
The air around me was hot and muggy and the only sound was the sound of the running water into the tub.
I couldn't scream.
I was in a bathtub filled with blood and the room smelled like bleach.
I woke up in a pool of sweat, crying my eyes out.
I struggle in my dreams, but I woke up and I've almost convinced myself that I'm feeling almost ok....
I awoke to realize that I was only just dreaming, not yet screaming. No one was around to wipe my tears, to rid me of my fears....
*^*^*^*
How long can I keep my body awake
How long can I deny how much I hurt
What is this going to take
Why does it only seem to be getting worse
So much to regret
Nothing more to confide
My head tells me to forgive and forget
But my heart refuses to coincide
Wanting something tangible to keep
My heart tells me to let it go
My eyes start to weep
But my fingers won't let it show
Wipe my eyes
I grab another drink
My heart says her goodbyes
But my head continues to think
If only the two could relate
If only they both could agree
So desperate to end this internal debate
I give up on love's promise for eternity.....
