The Shores of Dreamtide (WIP)

The Shores of Dreamtide

Tomorrow will not come, all hope is gone
Faded with the passage of time
Cut down by blades of harsh words
The Dreamer finally laid to rest
Eternal night without torment
No more blood to pour from her veins
Her life slowly flowing from old wounds
Deep silence forever more
Guarding her soul against the cold world
Soaring high above the pain
Angels' tears falling freely
As they welcome her with open arms
Back to innocence, a place where she is safe
To dream again of days long past
When the child in her still believed
That hope was worth fighting for...

Carried away by the waves
To the shores of Dreamtide
Her only escape now
From the cold, cruel world
The place where her reality
Finally meets fantasy
And she can live in peace
Dreaming in perfection…

Running free once more
Along the white sands
The beaches of her innocence
So long ago torn apart
Stolen and raped by the world
Left alone to suffer
And shed her silent tears
She returns once more
To the long lost days
Where her smile was real
No demons plaguing her mind
Before she was forced to decide
That hope was only an illusion
A false sense of security
A dark and twisted lie
Meant only to hurt and scar
The Dreamer’s innocent heart

She whispers softly through her tears…

“Soul’s light, black as night
Shrouded by shadows unseen
Fading, falling, coming apart
Unable to ever come clean
Sinking into sweet darkness
The cold nothingness within
Taking one deep final breath
And drowning with my sin…”

Succumbing to her fate
Eternal sinner, doomed to suffer
For all the wrongs she has done
Memories, once so sweet
Cut deeply, sharp knives in her soul
A smile long since faded
Suffocated by the agony she has suffered
Screaming out in desperation
Begging for death take hold
Ending her pain, setting her free
One final moment, one last cold tear
Before the curtain falls
Shrouded, she fades with a smile

Flying home…

“Sweet Dreamer,
Can you not see?
Your time is not over
There is no rest for the weary
And your fight carries on
Through the pain and the tears
There is such strength in your heart
Do not give up now
For I cannot allow you to stay
Though these shores will always be your home
You must return from whence you came.”
