I feel my dreams are only a connection to my life.
Eternity is forever.
My life is not.
In my dream, I see a house in the far distance.
With smoke brimming from the pipe on the roof.
I think to myself.
It looks like Grandma's place.
In my dreams, I will never truly know.
Because the darkness just swallowed up the last light.
Darkness is all-consuming.
I am now truly afraid.
In my dream, my family had at first been with me.
But they soon ran off, for their own protection.
Way too fast,
For my little feet and wobbly knees.
In my dream, I looked around to see that they were all gone.
You left me to deal with my fears all alone.
By myself.
Stranded in my own misery.
I am no child now, but almost full grown.
In my dreams, nothing has changed all that much.
No one can ever hide.
From true lonliness.
I am still left alone to deal with my fears.
