Chapter 1
A Most Frightening Sound
One night after the sun set and went to sleep,
The darkness came and the shadows lurked upon the terrain.
I heard a sound so dreadful, I didn't know what to do, but I decided to get up out of my bed to investigate.
Or should I go back to sleep I thought instead, I was surely struck with uncertainty.
But I continued to walk to my bedroom door and vacate my room,
surely the noise I heard was nothing and it was all in my head.
There was nothing to dread but my own imagination.
I walked down the hallway and down the stairs,
I put on the light on the wall beside the living room, I took one peek to see if there was anyone there.
Then I walked inside to go too the kitchen, I turned on the light and oh I got such a fright.
There was a huge monster taking and eating food from my fridge.
I thought to myself this could not be, it screamed, it was as scared as I was.
I took a long pause as did he.
Surely I thought he should be more brave than I? He had an apple rhubarb pie in his right hand and in his left hand a bottle of cream in a can.
Don't hurt me please, I mean you no harm.
I only wanted a midnight snack, you dear human have just about given me a heart attack. The monster said so politely to me, I couldn't find the words to express to him how I feel. And so! I joined him at the kitchen table for a meal

I wait for you
I stand still as you walk away
There are no words left to say
I have thoughts in my mind
My heart is beating fast
But there are words I can not find
I constantly choose the unavailable
You are the unattainable,
If I were just able to catch you and hold you dear
Tie my heart and yours together, forever
But even so, you wouldn't stay
You would just struggle to break free
Maybe it's me, I'm the one that pushes people away.
Chorus:
Always waiting alone by myself,
Wondering, pondering endlessly
My heart breaking so tenderly
I write down my thoughts my feelings
Expressing everything, the layers inside of me peeling.
Don't I deserve a love that wants to stay
To hold and protect one another
In this life, this wretched society
I feel I'm drowning through my unfulfilled dreams
Waiting, always waiting for someone to choose me, love me, I sit here alone empty in silence.
He reminds me of the love I never truly received,
As a little girl I waited for him, the absent father left with a courageous mother,
fighting to stop her own tears from falling, deep pain wondering would a man ever love her.
Chorus:
Always waiting alone by myself,
Wondering, pondering endlessly
My heart breaking so tenderly
I write down my thoughts my feelings
Expressing everything, the layers inside of me peeling.
My eyes try to stop the streams of tears
I am standing in an ocean,
Lost in waves of explosion
The face he showed me was it true
But I look back now and only see smoke and mirrors
A trail of illusions that trigger my deepest wounds.
Traumas I tried to repress
And now I digress,
To uncage my heart I have been keeping locked, for fear of the breaking again.
I try to fix my pain. Always waiting alone by myself, reminiscing about the past, and now only foot prints on a trail that you left behind.
Chorus:
Always waiting alone by myself
Wondering, pondering endlessly
My heart breaking so tenderly
I write down my thoughts my feelings
Expressing everything, the layers inside of me peeling.

Dream Guy
As I fall asleep this night
I think of you all the time
Knowing that you're right for me
Keeps me sleeping deeply, tenderly
As we hold each other tight
I hold my head down and cry
Cause I know that you are mine.
Dream guy waiting for me
You are my constant and reliability
Making love with you endlessly
My body feels you passionately
I moan out uncontrollably, because you are my fantasy.
Chorus:
You are my lover, my dream, the warmth in thy breast.
You shield me from the reality that breaks me,
the society that shakes me, you are my guardian at night, the one I turn to out of sight, you are hidden inside of thine mind, thine heart, for there you will stay and we will never part.
As the light of the sun dims and the dark shadows cascade over the night with the stars shining ever so bright.
I close my eyes and I see you lie beside me, we hold one another tight.
To dream of you is to shield me, if only for a night, from the harsh storm of thy life.
When my burdens lay heavily on my heart and my soul is lost in the flames slowly dying in vain, you bring life to me again.
Chorus
You are my lover, my dream the warmth in thy breast.
You shield me from the reality that breaks me,
the society that shakes me, you are my guardian at night, the one I turn to out of sight, you are hidden inside of thine mind, thine heart, for there you will stay and we will never part.
Our dreams are one, our hearts are tied.
