Let Me Be by Tafline
Every time I close my eyes
You are there
I try to get some distance
Please say, “I don’t want you”
On the screen in my mind
You’re always showing
The dreams stop and start
Jarring my brain
Trying to make sense of it
There is no way away from you
Seeing you, thinking of you
YOU, YOU, YOU!!!
Leave me alone
Detachment is needed
I can’t breathe
You’re stealing my air
With you I am monochrome
I need colour
I need light

The Darkness by Tafline
(Please note: the use of the words "the black" are by no means racial in any way, shape or form... It is meant as a metaphor for depression!!! No offense intended!)
Completely submerged in the black
Straining to break free
My mouth screams
To chase away impending dark
The black leaks into my veins
Becoming a very part of me
I feel it now, surging within me
Overtaking my brain
My words, thoughts and memories are gone
Taken by the black
Stealing every part of me
The black destroying all
The black overcomes me
I know that it is over now
I am no longer my own

Waking Dreams by Tafline
In my daydreams you are mine
As I close my eyes
I know what you’ll say
I know what I’ll do
‘Cause in my daydreams I know the real YOU!
Reality fades as I picture it
You and I together
Facing whatever comes
Finding strength in you
In my daydreams no one knows me like you do
Background noise
The real world intrudes
Ripping me away
‘Will you visit again?’
My daydream answers ‘On that you can depend’
My eyes slowly reopen
It all comes flooding back
For only cold-lighted reality remains
And so I choose
In wakeful dreaming…
To return to you
+++++++
As always these poems belong to my imagination
