Dreams

My dreams are the only place
I see us both together.
If I could, I'd stay asleep
And dream of us forever.

I see us lying in the grass,
Looking to the sun.
Lying there next to you,
I know that you're the one.

Then you turn to me,
"I love you" is what you say.
Then suddenly the image
Begins to fade away.

I'm running back, back to my bed
In this, the waking world.
I may have sheets and blankets,
But my heart remains cold.

I'm spinning round and round
Against my heart's deepest desire,
For inside me you have lit
My heart's eternal fire.

If it's true, you don't exist
Then inside, I will die.
For now I know that in this world,
Everything's a lie.

You came to me and sang your song
Of love and of seduction.
It's as if you didn't know
It'd lead to my destruction.

I find myself awakening,
Alone in my bed,
Thinking of the dream I've had
And of the things you've said.

"Was it true? Was it real?"
The questions do not matter.
For in the realm of dreams, it seems,
It's mind over matter.

The world is real, and now I find
That I'm the one in a great bind.
I've told myself that it was true,
When it was just a lie.

You love me, you love me not,
You love me? Not at all.
The petals on this flower
Shall forever fall.

Telling you the story of
My bleeding, aching soul,
That's desperately trying to reach
That unattainable goal.

I wish it could be real,
And I wish dreams could come true
So when I next awaken
I'll be lying next to you.
