Into the Black

Into the Black
I bolt upward,

Thrown from the dream,

Where I see your smiling eyes.

I sit there,

In the repressing dark,

Of the room we used to share.

I stare off,

Into the black,

And my thoughts carry me back.

Back to a time,

Back when I held your face in my hands,

Back to a time when we smiled,

Laughed,

Cried,

And planned for the future.

This is my future,

This dark room,

Alone with the dreams of what used to be.

Broken

Broken
A city of broken dreams,

Dreams of broken people,

They wander the streets,

Scavenging for a fix,

Love,

Companionship,

So many beautiful people,

My friends,

Wasting away with their demons,

Their talents to never be seen,

Dreams of broken people,

That will never come to pass.

Ugh...

...some days I really despise my significant other. He irritates me to no end. He's a spoiled rotten brat that uses his "tourettes" as an excuse for flipping out when he doesn't get his way. He acts likes he's going to hit all of us when he gets disturbed while doing something he wants to do. He even does it to our 2 month old son, like he knows better. I'm with a douchebag. I know.
