I'm in the dark And I'm lost In my mind, screaming Through the empty Space, filled with no light All I hear is my echo I listen and hear the echo Of silent breaking through the dark Nothingness that consumes any light That I don't see, in this lost Place of empty Dreaming, in which I scream Soon as it stops, the screaming High painful cry, and the echo Fades, leaving me again in the empty Hallow thoughts of my dark Sleep, and wander through my mind lost Of what I had, it was my light What I had was like a warm light That held me from the bitter screaming Of the cold, it found me when I was lost It covered me like a blanket, and echoed Through my soul, with it I was never in the dark And never left empty Now, in my sleep, I am empty The warm blanket of the light No longer holds me, but exposes me to the dark And painful piercing screams Of my own voice echoing In my nightmares of what I've lost I am lost In the emptiness Of my own pain, that echoes Through me, and all I want again is the light For it I scream In my dreams, but all I get in the dark I dream of the dark and I'm lost My screaming is only heard by the empty Space in my mind, where light shined, but there is only echo. by Nicole Hiebing #iloveyoudaddy #iwillrememberforyou #🐘 #💜 #dementia #cheekie #jeauxdi #jeauxdiann #itainteasybeingcheekie #ohjeauxdi (at Baton Rouge, Louisiana)
