echoes

scattered thoughts holds me in its supreme command this day.
hearing distant echoes of the same longing in my soul
getting louder and louder 'till i just can't bear it on my own anymore
its become a spell i can't cry away
its become a pain that grips my soul
can't scream this pain away
chained in darkness i hide
only to find that i've lost the key
got swept away in a world of still born stars
finding myself back again in never never land
the world of my chimera

searching for the guardian to my soul
the keeper of my dreams
the anchor to my strength
the light i follow
should i stumble
should i fall

the one to hold me close
the one to take me back in his safe haven and breathe confidence in me
the one to wake me up from this nightmare world of my chimera
and just hold me close

tear me up
fold me
.........d
...........o
.............w
................n
scrunch me up
post me up on a wall
fold me in half
draw on me
paint over me
rip me out
...........scrunch me up
....................................and throw me away

better yet....
fold me into a thousand paper cranes
....lay me gently onto the sea
...............set me free
and grant me this one wish
