Why can you see, where the differences between,
dreams and memories lie
For a dream is a dream, and a memory must be,
more real than that blissful abyss
When I dream, I dream of love,
as perfection that cannot be replaced
But the memories I have, both of love and of bliss,
are short lived and all end in deceit
Though memories distort, the facts from the truth,
you remember the best and the worst
But the best in a dream, is by far greater than,
that truth that exists in my head
When I think of times past, and the way that we laughed,
I remember the joy in your eyes
But when I recall, the love that we felt,
I feel nothing but hateful remorse
When I dream of you, your milky white skin,
and the feelings I felt come to life
But these feelings are false, and enhanced by the dream,
so they leave me upset and annoyed
So memories may be, a way to recall,
the happy events of your life
Though my warning would be, that memories may be,
no more than just dreams in disguise

Poetry: Memories

Mother Made Me Burn
My Father's Picture
She stood behind me,
poked her finger
into my back.
Do it. Do it.
I struck a match.
A couple steeped with age, sits in rocking chair
Both with wrinkles on face, and silver their hair
Back and forth they rock,

I have carried with me,
through every town I chose to flee
into every house I tried to make my home
the only thing that
YOU CAN'T FORGET
You hold your chin up,
higher than you should...
you have so much more pride,
than I ever could.
You walk so
Whisper wind, through the remaining chimes
distant, weak.
The house is peeling, like my skin
The sun is blaring, like my mind.
