Stolen Dreams - Not Unwell

Stolen Dreams - Not Unwell


In your eyes a spark still survives
A place where your dreams flies
With your hand, mind and heart
Created a sweet that was art


One fateful day you questioned the books
To find honey mouthed partner a crook
The trust your partner did swear to abide
Was stealing your dreams, a grin did hide


Heart heavy with sorrow, your trust torn apart
The choice to leave before you tore him apart
You vanished from where your praises were sung
While whispers arose and rumours swiftly sprung


You are insane your partner did claim
Voices in your head is how you were defamed
Yet you never told the truth or yourself defend
For the thief wrote the story and rewrote the end


Devasted by lies and deceit, your genius confined
You took to drinking to silence the pain in your mind
Numb and drown out the pain of betrayal
Your mind shattered in pieces, so very frail


The whispers grew louder and rumours took hold
Insinuating, manipulating, lies your partner told
Painting you as mentally ill to hide his theft
Portraying himself as your saviour, he is deft


Beneath the surface, rage keeps you in a trance
Lost in the rhythm of a self-destructive dance
Giving wings to rage to hide unhealed pain
Acting out for the excuse to numb your pain


Deep in your heart a fire still burns
A whisper of hope, as the earth turns
Look in the mirror and see what I see
Find away to heal your pain, be free


To escape the trap of your own confine
You will have to confront the loss and stain
Let the truth of betrayal and theft be known
Control of emotion and courage yours to own


Your brilliance should never be caged
Even in darkness it burns enraged
Never again hear you're broken, unwell
Your truth will outshine the lies they tell
