I never dream I am grateful for that You used to experience night terrors No idea why They occured every single night when you were young I have nothingness until morning wakes me up with a brutal slap to the face You occupy daydreams though It is odd that in that realm you still retain that indifferent demeanor As if I have conjured up your essence for a few minutes Peculiar how you talk to me in the familiar condescending tone I have grown used to the past two years Unusual because I would rather picture you the way I always yearned for you to be My mind consistently has worked in a literal process though Someone who left skull strives to remember exactly as they were So in matter of seconds Brain's wandering fantasies quickly transform into nightmares Every occasion So I attempt not letting my head wander these days No amount of discipline enough to stop it The harder I try containing it the more it roams

I Never Dream Anymore
I never dream I am grateful for that You used to experience night terrors No idea why They occured every single night when you were young I have nothingness until morning wakes me up with a brutal slap to the face You occupy daydreams though It is odd that in that realm you still retain that indifferent demeanor As if I have conjured up your essence for a few minutes Peculiar how you talk to me in the familiar condescending tone I have grown used to the past two years Unusual because I would rather picture you the way I always yearned for you to be My mind consistently has worked in a literal process though Someone who left skull strives to remember exactly as they were So in matter of seconds Brain's wandering fantasies quickly transform into nightmares Every occasion So I attempt not letting my head wander these days No amount of discipline enough to stop it The harder I try containing it the more it roams
I rarely remember my dreams these days
