This was written off a dream I had last night that has stayed in my head with questions surrounding it. It feels good to be writing poetry again.
Dream Interpretation
Images of terror,
Times since long past,
Hearts that were broken,
Chains that were cast
Left me with dreams in the night,
Asking what have I done,
Torn apart the innocent,
Accusing the one.
Can a right be a wrong,
Can a wrong be ignored?
Should I go through the fire,
Should I sever the cord?
Of the lies that surround us,
The lies told too long,
Should the snake be left sleeping?
Is the lion ever gone?
Is there hope is this darkness,
A light shining through?
Is he just pretending
Or is she trusting in you?
God I don’t know
Where this life will now lead.
Do I pick up the pieces
Or internally bleed?
Can these wounds be healed
From the damage that’s done?
Is it right what I’m doing,
Is it hurting the one
I’d want to protect,
The one that I love.
Would it be better for her
If we rose above
The pain of the past,
Started anew?
Is this what the dream means
For me, and for you?
