A GIFT

Give me dreams

so I may forget

the reality of Pain

the truth in Love

and the dawning of Regret,

the storm of rain...

The perfection of Dream

is the realization of Life

the escape from Hate

the Love and Sighs

of You.

COMFORT

And in the solice of an involuntary heart

there rests Pain, not alone,

but with the saddened company of Despair.

No Strength,

Just Tears.
