Slumber

Unto slumber I must go,
To dream the dream that no one knows,
While loneliness continues to grow,
Dreams of those from long ago.
They never leave, they haunt your mind,
A bit of peace you'll never find,
The past and present are entwined,
The past cannot be left behind.
In the light you think you're free,
But in life there's no guarantee,
Close your eyes and the dreams will be,
All the things you don't want to see.

Lines

There’s a fine line,

Between love and hate,

The space in between is lies.

Lies that spill forth,

Without any guilt,

And always in disguise.

Disguised as the truth,

It’s so hard to tell,

Even within your eyes.

Eyes that deceive,

Just as your lips,

And the truths that they revise.

Revise the line,

And the line gets crossed,

And all that’s left are lies.
