Dream Catcher.

Dream Catcher.

My life is in pieces. All of my dreams have been lost, unfulfilled.
I have become an empty shell, robbed of everything except regret and remorse.
Someone that I love is now lost to me and I do not know how to get him back.

Now...
I walk alone.
I cry alone.
I am alone.

I am delicately balancing on a precipice, but I know I will eventually lose my balance.
I am drowning in an unimaginable, unbearable cesspool of hurt and loneliness that cannot be medicated.
I am being suffocated by my own depths of despair.
I search my mind for a comforting thought from my childhood and there is none.
It has always been this way for me.
I wonder when this sadness will eventually swallow me and end my life.

So, as I lie in bed being consumed by this infinite melancholy, I look to my dream catcher dangling above my head and make a request.
"Keep any fleeting dreams of happiness I may have had, safe for me. Deliver them to me as I slumber, so I have known happiness for a brief moment before the darkness takes me and pushes me off balance."
