The Carnage

All I want is peace--
Silent peace.
Is that too much to ask for?

I had my dreams
I had my expectations
Unbridled and unaware
Brimming and spilling over….

But love’s young dream
Had to grow up.
They grew up into illusions!
My acre of grass
Stretched into monstrous palaces!
Ur chocolate brown eyes
Turned into an oasis….
Or was it a mirage?

And then the carnage started….

Shhh….
When u sing, a thousand bells
Ring in my head
It makes me wanna scream my lungs out--
Don’t break me over and over….

Silence
Is that too much to ask for?
