"Dream Sale *" by Lyndsay E. Gilbert aka Liadan

I watch you spinning Faerytales and weaving strands of light

I watch you give yourself away to spirits of the night

I want a little taste of you, bitter sweet or cold

So can I buy your dreams today? To very gently hold

I want your strong conviction, for even just a day

I want to feel the passion behind the things you say

I watch your tears so jealously, they fall and stain your cheeks

They give that man the power that his fallen nature seeks

Can I buy your dreams today? I promise to take care

Your dreams are very precious, they are beautiful and fair

When you’re at your lowest, you can still look at the stars

You can still believe in wishes and the encompassing powers

I want to be alive today, and see things through your eyes

I’m dreamless and I’m dead inside, my soul knows only lies

I want to drown in something that isn’t just deceit

I want to drown in passions, emotions fired with heat

So can I buy your dreams today? So I can see the sky

I want to see the stars tonight before I say goodbye

I wish to tell a story of the girl I used to know

Before they stole her soul from her, before she let it go
