Lucid Dreams

“You should try it. Crying is soul cleansing.”

“You are. You’re like an Egyptian god, but you’re so sad. If you were mine, I’d pray over you and deliver you from those demons,” she mumbled. “I’d make you feel safe, and I’d protect you from whatever has you in a chokehold.”

“My lil homie told me you were out. I had to make sure you not out here giving whack ass niggas your energy.”

“You believe in soul ties?” he questioned. “I’ve never thought about it...why?” “Because it’s the only way to explain the connection I feel towards you. You feel familiar.” “Connection?” Hunter nervously swallowed. “Yea. Like the kind that makes you crazy, and I don’t know if that’s a good thing. Like maybe you belonged to me in another lifetime.” “What if I said I feel it too? What does that make us?” she asked. “Crazy as fuck.” Nite peered over at her. “Behind those green eyes, I see your pain, mama. We’re both victims of this fucked up world.”
