I Have Drempt Too Many Dreams


I look with feelings, never with eyes.
It's an easy way to fool myself,
a quick way to depress myself.

I paint pictures in my mind,
only to tear them apart in frustration
because they are illusions

I have drempt too many dreams
that did not come true
and I have ruined a heart
and made my life blue

There are good things, and happy pumkin toys
but I am blind to them now, for they
are not visible to me.

I shall struggle, none the less,
to bring about some kind of solace.

Even when I am alone and no one comes
I shall remember the joy even
through my pain, the wonder
even in the fading hug of the
final dream.

I shall be changed
I shall be different
I will never dream a dream again.
But I shall be strong
and I shall be new
and pain shall have no place
in my heart.

Then alone it shall be, but
never lonely.
Sad forever eternally, but
loved fully.
I shall shut my eyes
and dream no dreams
forever.

Dreams are angelic
They soar above,
And float below.
And with those dreams 
I see what is to be seen.

Dreams are demonic
They burn around you
And dance upon you.
And with those dreams
I am taunted by that which is.

Dream are indifferent
They ignore you
And exist alone.
And with those dreams
I care for that which doesn't.

Dreams are dependent
They are your children
And sit rapt at your feet.
And with those dreams
I control that which will not let me.

And still, I must dream.
All things must balance.
And still, I must dream.

Damage the Dream
Damage the Dream

My memory's one sided
and the side that I've chosen
feels nothing
feels nothing at all.


(lullaby, paraphrased from the james song lyrics)
