Unwanted Truths

Im having dreams...nightmares, rather

I see you covered in dust, still trying to make the world a better place

While you slowly fade away

You smile...seemingly in your own world

You've barely survived by pushing everything aside

And telling yourself that you are seeing something else

Your grey hair is falling out and your skin is wearing away

And I'm trying to reach out to you, but you don't seem to really see me

You are wasting away

I can see it all now

And now that you've arrived, it seems to be too late

You are off in a daze

Trying to make reality go away

Come, please take my hand

This isn't who you are

You used to be alive

The first to see past the obvious

The one who fought the hardest for the rest of the world

How did you not see it coming?

And how did you end up here?

I'm at a loss for what to say to you

I hate these dreams

Because in them i see the truth

The truth about me and you

Are we both now too far gone to get a hold on life?

jessi- this one kills me! please don't despair. i really think the dream is a promise--at least i am holding on to hope from it. i love what Jesus is doing in and through you in valleybrook. let's keep trusting Him for fruit! love, mom.
