Dark Dreams

by Jersey D Gibson

She seemed dressed,
in past regrets (so oblivious).
So fragile yet so demure,
forever cloaked (and climatic).

Hands frayed and bleeding,
just like my temper (explosive).
Your temple rocks and shatters,
present brutality (from my sins)

...yet she makes me smile.

Closing in for the kill,
bruises like kisses (but much sweeter).
Enter the night I came home,
for you (forever).

She's everything and more
bathed in perseption (so askewed).
Lackluster smiles of poison
yet she talks to me (in tongues)

...yet she says she loves me more.

Nervous
from the stress
its now or never.

Angst
from the start
its now or never

Hard to say
what got my attention!
Hypnotic ploy
all my intentions!
Such a lousy way
to win at attraction!
Scared and lonely
bitter-like affection!


Won't you stop playing this game of me?

Throttled and choked
the gas is gone (I'm on fire).
Practical yet uneasy
free like a slave (unchained).

Post-tramatic trama
I've survived (just to be shot again).
Synaptic misfiring
has me guessing (if you're real).

...will you please wake me up from this nightmare?

Scars like signs
all point at me (at my hands).
Brittle to the core
my soul cries (at my trangressions).

Cut my name in me
into my chest (won't forget).
Cast in bronze for memories
best left forgotten (but you won't let me)

...yet you've gotten the best of me (of me)

Silent
my mouth is shut
from all my missing teeth.

Haunted
or am I the specter
twisted to the point of madness.

Pain has brought me
back to my senses!
Living life like
it's all past tenses!
Words are cut down
grinded and minced!
Have the last, heart,
throw your two pences in!


I won't let you play this game of me!
I won't let you play this game on me!
I won't let you win this game from me!
I won't let you take this game from me!


Is she real?
Is she for real?
Will I wake?
Or die in my dark dreams?

I've let this build up inside of me...

very powerful stuff here...what is a dream? what is reality? what's the difference?
