God, I Want To Dream Again...

God, I Want To Dream Again...

A Poem by Rebecca Hope Rouston

Your grip is never tight enough

Your words are never cruel enough

And if I try to get away

My feet are never quick enough

My dreams delay once again

I've ruined your life, you say?

You push me under the surface

How about you took life from me?

This darkened sky is my cloak

This cigarette is my new best friend

One day she will take me away

I will know where she's taking me

My mind is in another place

But here's another day with you

God, I want to dream again

When did I become so numb?

Restless, again, as I lie awake

Your whereabouts unknown

Panic begins to crawl up my spine

I never want you to come home..

God, I want to dream again. I know I've said that before. I've also said, "God, I never want to dream again!"

I especially enjoyed these lines: This darkend sky is my cloak (darkened)

This cigarette is my new bestfriend (best friend)

Thanks for sharing. I'll leave a few notes to take care of typos.

The pain and anquish you display are so vivid. And your title is perfect, each line so provocative and powerful. Your writing is flawless!

Very emotional and dark (without being overly so) I loved how everything flowed together and didn't sound forced anywhere. Great job. :)
