| Lone Trouble She dreams of places that no one can see, her heart is in places which she can only dream. I reach out to touch her but she's not awake, daydreaming of something she can never have, only in her sleep is her heart able to smile. She awakes suddenly with a tear below her eye, knowing she's lonely unable to hide herself any more, she closes her eyes again to dream of everything, what she knows she can't have. Nothing burns her more then the coldness he left, for her to deal with She sleeps again to sooth the pain, to calm the burning inside and to wash the tears away. Nothing is real to her, it hurts too much to feel, Dreams are the reality in which she lives, no one can wake her nothing can be done to save her from her own worst enemy, her lone trouble.
