Dreams of Wonderland

When I’m standing in the dark

The candle has no light

Hot wax dripping on my hands and feet

Alone and unafraid.

Wondering the shadows

Darkness will never hide its face

And neither will I

Surrounded by the ghosts of memories long forgotten.

Tears of joy streaming

Cries of pain fill my ears

But I won’t be afraid

I won’t run away.

Fighting the darkness

Voices in my head

Singing ancient lullaby’s

Valleys of ashes far away.

The light returns

The dreams are ending

My eyes burning from the darkness

My fear returns.

The darkness is my friend

Yet its banished once again

Loneliness; my sin

Yet love my forgiveness.
