The comfort of my dreams
You always by my side
takes away the pain
of the time that I must bide
upon this dreadful place
I now refuse to call my home
so destructive, filled with violence
forcing all the good to roam.
Areas so swathed in
hatred, envy, hurt
murdering the pureness
cluttering the mirth.
Our fire fueling angers
that grew in the absence of love
are burning ever so dangerous
climbing over our heads, above
filling our once blue skies
with a hideous black-gray taint
I just want to make it go away!
But I know, alone, I can't...

Sitting in the darkness
hiding from my fears
not I, but you, take notice
of the always flowing tears.
You reach up a gentle hand
you wipe them from my eyes
and try to soothe my pounding heart
with your sweet, good-mannered lies.
You whisper in my ear,
"It's going to be okay."
Out comes the expected answer,
"Yeah, I know. One day..."
