DreamscapeI'm afraidSomewheresomehowsomewaysomeone Is hurting me... And I remember this pain. My eyes... stabbing, lancing pain like coals like fire I've been burned it's like a white-hot blade going into my eyes and through my skull to the back where it dances a wheel of fire in the back of my brain... And I remember falling My vision blood-red then dark then black as the voices around me laugh and someone far away- or is he right here?- calls my name and the pain in his voice is more than I can bear... i cry inside... whisper... his hand... in mine... tell... him.... i... love you...... and they drag him from me and drag my near-lifeless form to a cliff and let it go Only a witch would float and i only remember a moment above the waves... and then the cool darkness of the sea a witch? i don't remember but whatever i was i am the water now the burning has stopped and i watch my lifeless body sink out of sight i can't go to the summerland yet i'm still drifting but when i'm at rest... an almost-sleeping form on the ocean floor... then will i say my farewell... and go... home...
