Can You Forgive?

Can you forgive?
All that I have done.
For so long, as if in a dream.
Replaying within my mind.
Pieces of the past, fragments sharp and clear.
Cut into me.
As fragments, warm and gentle.
Bring tears to my eyes,
As they heal my broken frame.
Can you remember?
All that I have done.
Was it right?
The choices I made, the path I took.
When you both left.
I was lost and alone.
For without you, I so often forgot.
Who I truly was.
Can you remember?
All that we did together.
My dearest companions,
You who were my brother at heart, and you my only love.
For I have not forgotten.
And I never will.
Can you forgive?
All that I’ve done.
All that I couldn’t do.
For though I tried, I never could save.
What I cherished most.
Can you forgive me?
Will you forgive me?
Though you may both hate me.
Please come back to me.
For without you who were my brother at heart, and you my only love.
I am alone.
Can I forgive myself?
And can you forgive,
This selfish wish;

Let Me Dream

Let me dream, of what I know not.
To somewhere, I go.
To here, I stay.
Lost, hazy.
Aware and watching.
Between reality and dreams.
Is where I am.
Somewhere there and not quite there.
All jumbled together,
Some broken or hazy.
Others clear or real.
Are memories and dreams.
A song plays, so close yet faint.
Into near sleep, I stay until it stops.
Somewhere, I am dreaming.
Somewhere, I am awake.
Somewhere in between, is where I wander.
As all becomes intertwined.
I can't tell, as to where I am.
Let me dream, as I awake.
To somewhere, I go.
To here, I stay.
Between reality and dreams.
Is where I am.
Somewhere there and not quite there.
Forever wandering, in near sleep.
So hazy and clear.
Is all that I see.
With my eyes, within my mind.
As the song plays, all becomes intertwined.
