Paradise

She closes her eyes and drifts
away from the world that shackles
her down.

The sun always has to rise again,
or so that's what she whispers
into the darkness.

The wheel breaks the butterfly,
or so they say.

So drifts away from the world
and dreams of a paradise where she
is loved and perfect.

Paradise where there is someone to
hold her when she feels like she is
going to fall down.

Paradise where she is exactly where
she belongs, surrounded by people who
want her as much as she wants them to
want her.

A paradise where his voice doesn't
fade away out of her ears, and his arms
never release her again.

And she opens her eyes to see that
reality is still here, but she doesn't
stop dreaming.

Of her Paradise.
