Sweet Dreams (Free verse) by d35
Taking a sledgehammer to a mirror
for reflections come without image
& âJust one of u is enough,â they say.
Shards of glass now ready, to
bleed the pain away.
It would be so easy to take
the aura of what makes a heart beat,
sweet dreams.
She was a sorry sight,
black tears of mascara
bleed from her eyes & stain skin.
Wallowing on the edge,
on the edge of her apartment complex,
in a nightgown
to blend with a fall to nothing,
& a funeral that would end everything.
He was high and planned on hell,
a teenage dropout with a syringe.
Laying ready in a bathtub,
sick of bathing in his own depression,
with a half empty bottle of vodka
perched to his side, &
a handful of aspirin to relieve the pain.
Tastes that canât be ignored
& soon an idea will be a reality,
u will swim in the sea of the undead
not welcomed on any level,
sweet dreams.
