Title: Drain My Soul
Writer: Incognito

I had a dream last night,
that I walked in purple skies, and clouds,
It was a lovely dream,
where I was in a place that no one knew pain,
or tears of self-pity and sorrow.
I think I'll go to bed now, and try to dream that dream again.
I'll hide safe beneath the covers,
and close my eyes,
and I'll pray I'll wake tomorrow,
and I'll be someone else.
It is my tranquilizer, that dream.
It is my pain killer.
I wish I could hold love in my hands,
and not see the thorns pricking my skin.
I have seen the thorns.
I wish love was a tame dove that you could hold in your hands and feel its beauty.
I believe love is very much like this Earth and the moon.
The people on one side or seeing the sun,
and the people on the other side are in the dark looking at the moon.
And right now I am in the darkness,
waiting for the light,
jealous of those who have frolicking in the sun light,
and have yet to worry about the approaching night.
