If there's a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it. ~Toni Morrison

I am so lost in a sea of red,
I am drowning in my thoughts.
As quiet as they be,
you're the only one that sees,
the darkness inside of me.

I open my eyes,
forgetting the lies told to me.
As I look at your face,
everything is erased,
and I am free
and everything was a dream.

I think this is my favourite of all the poems I've read from you so far. You're also the only person I've read from who can write poems so short and yet so full and with so much meaning and feeling. Keep writing!! (:
