Dead(Awaken)

Alive but not living,
Is a tale some know all too well.
Walking dead with cold hearts;
Minds rotten to the core.
Searching for life
To resurrect their soul.
Love is all you need
To awaken what’s inside.
The dead can rise
And the living can die.
Shed away the decay
And watch the life sprout.
Awaken.

Reality -VS- Fantasy: 2 worlds collide.

A life altered by a different path
A decision initiated by simple words.
You came into my world
And now fantasy has no hold.
These stars shine brighter now
The moon no longer hides the truth
But when your sun rises
I know reality is with you.
I’ve slept in a fantasy
Dreamt of living life a new
Covered my eyes from seeing
A vision of life without you.
Fantasy vs reality
So hard to choose between the two.
I rather choose a world
That includes the love from you.

Reality…
