dejected dreams

Hello Star, firstly I'd like to just say WOW!
The title 'dejected dreams' I love because instantly it tells us, I feel, the mood of the poem as a whole although I could be wrong and you could just be trying to knock us off scent (thinking emoji lol) I also like the use of alliteration here too.

a white screen
staring back,
tingling fingers
barely holding
onto letters.

This opening reminds me of a scene in a movie although I cannot remember which but it was in a courtroom and, I think, the rape victim was giving her statement or whatever that would be called and she was so nervous she became fidgety and was just messing with her sleeve and knocked the papers flying. I felt so sympathetic for her, honestly it was horrendous. A fantastic way to set the scene here.

this night is
a hallucination,
munching on
a brain.

I absolutely love this stanza, it's just yeah, I've no words for it.. The night being an hallucination in itself is amazing so well done on this, my favourite part.

words
slowly
shattering

Now, I love the image of words shattering especially as it's usually a person that shatters because of words spoken.. If that makes sense.

ghosts start
dancing,
celebrating
the blackout.

This is one reason I'm afraid of the dark haha, just imagine if that's really the case though? Like, I reckon it could be you know. Scary. I think I'll sleep with one eye open tonight haha

glowing
butterflies

A sad ending to a fantastic piece.
Well done,
