Nightshade dreams

Nightshade dreams,
As he's wide awake,
He sees,
The things he never wanted to believe,
And the crying eyes,
The broken lies,
Just when he thought he could start to believe,
Frozen stars,
And restless hearts,
He clenches his fists,
Till his nails cut lines into each palm,
But he can't look away,
Can't shake away,
The shattered pieces of a cracking heart.
