I spent my long day so weary, then found my bed early to see my heart more clearly
My mind was raging for most of the day, I've been full of thoughts that wouldn't go or stay
To put this down on paper seemed so impossible because there was much to be done but I needed this to keep my brain from a complete topple
My eyes grew heavy, my thoughts still bursting through like water that had broken the levee
Then all at once it started, the dream of dreams of a love departed
I could feel the smile during my sleep but these thoughts and dreams I just couldn't keep
We danced and twirled under a starlit sky, another dream of love from my mind as I lie
I laid there sleeping softly, resting sweetly, my heart was panting so ever deeply
Then like a tidal, one quick swift turn of emotion, the dream turned cold and raged like the hurricane ocean
My heart, my heart.....what has happened to you?
You brought this bright red love and shattered it to deep blue...

...and then I woke up one morning and thanked god it was a dream
...it was crazy because wow did it feel so serene
...the heart
.....the brain
...keep fighting
.....and fighting
....I just need the clear mind
...the one with bright lighting
...I was full of these thoughts yesterday
...they still won't go
...they still won't stay
On some days the dreams are worse than they were before...
