what do you dream
when you lie in your bed
and the years and the decades
roll over your head?
do you dream of the sounds
kittens make when they walk
or of horrors so clutching
they won't let you talk?
do you dream of the guilt
that sits in your spine
or do you wash it all down
with sour-tasting wine?
do you dream of apologies
that were left unspoken
or of all the other people
that you left behind, broken?
do you dream of the things
that you wish you had said
or do you let them leak out
through the hole in your head?

just when you think you've gotten over something, it comes right back to bite you in the arse :/
