Want you to take me away,
Squeeze the weariness from me, take the
Heaviness off me, shake
The dimness from my eyes,
Force the
Limpness from my feet -
I am a
Drowning, empty puppet, I am an
Oil-laden sea.
Drink me meaning from the greys - shades of
Grey, shades of brown...
I never knew that screams could be
Such empty, empty sounds -
I never know my tears would be
Pathetic -

I never knew how real nightmares could be.
