Tree of Promises
You lay on a cloud
A white, fluffy, huge cloud
Thinking about life,
your goals,
And the promises you made and
Broke
Suddenly you’re falling
A blood-curdling shriek escapes your mouth
Time then stops
You open your eyes
Darkness
You try to get up
Then you realize
You’re only a soul
You search and search for your body
Yet it seems impossible
You feel that you don’t
Exist
No one is there to help you
You’re isolated from everyone
Pleading for anyone to come
Dead silence
Then you see it
Your body laying there
You immediately go to it
But every time you make a move
It looks like it’s getting even farther away
Now our running towards it
Once you reach it
You settle into it
Hoping, praying that you’ll be noticed
But no you’re still in the dark
But now you don’t feel whole
Like you’re missing something
It feels different
Those time you looked in the mirror hoping to see anything in your reflection
Seemed like thousands of years ago
Now you have a desire
A heart hurting desire
To find something someone
So you begin your journey once again
You’re desperate
Not knowing what it is
But you still urge on
Hoping once you satisfy your desire
You’ll meet someone
Someone to laugh with
To joke with
To cry with
Feel pain that only that person can heal
Your hearts beating as one
Same blood
Then you see it
The tree of promises
As it’s white pure leaves fall to the ground
You see someone
Standing under the tree
Waving at you
calling
You start running towards the tree
Your smile is a true one
Then you see yourself
With a friend who understands you
Needs you as much as you need them
Under the tree of promises

Loneliness is sad, but being in the dark by yourself is just depressing. This is a story for al those lonely souls out there that don't feel as if they exist. Everybody is special! What inspired me to wite this was that when I sat down in my room and thought about life, I wondered about the people who are lonely and are in the dark. Two deadly enemies in one. But loneliness maybe sad because it might be lonely and darkness maybe sad because it's always in the dark and just wants to be able to shine. Did you ever think of that?!
