Dreaming Moon
One day I fell to sleep in the arms of the one that loves me so
I stared wide-eyeed into the window of my dreams only to see a memory
I felt the fire burning inside my chest, a fire I have not felt in a thousand years
I know that this time I will not make fall into that trap of what once was
as I slowly hope that I'm foolish and do
Shivers shoot slowly across my spine and overwhelm me
a chill like one I've craved the most
I feel every single prickle as it warms my mind and my heart that whispers
a million memories of who I once was and what I have lost.
These memories reminding me of a melancholy times.
My dream shifts and suddenly I'm living in a world I thought I could not find again
I stare more into window of my dreams knowing I will crave that heat and warmth
of a fast beating heart and jumping stomach.
I cry and scream for a time with some peace even if only one flap of a butterfly's wings.
I cry harder even though I know to be only just a dream
but at least in this dream I live an unfulfilled love one that I wish I still had.
I peel the layers and jump right back
I feel so unmoving as reality begins to cease
In this dream my heart aches for a love that won't go away.
A love so strong that it will influence every motion that comes next
a love who would fill me with a heart of her own.
I suddenly turn to hear my name and as I see clearly
She buckles at the mere sight of me.
There she stands with wishful eyes that become a run so fierce
that only angels could guiding her towards me.
Startled at her flight my heart becomes an awkward paced drum beat
My hands tingle in anticipation; My arms become strong enough to catch her if she falls
Right in front of me she makes a grasp at the tips of my finger and misses.
Who knows what she sees but all hope is lost in her eyes. Tears roll down as I lose
all strength and fall slowly in a never-ending hole.
The window of my dreams has shut and I know I'll never see it again.
That once clear picture has become a blur and the walls of my dreams
whisper and snicker as though it were comedic that I should never
see the ending to this dream. Never see what I expect. Never know what she thinks.
Never know what could have been.
Startled awake in a cold sweat I dare not speak of this
for I know the ending to this choice to this voice of reason in my head.
It is not one I would wish on even my enemies. I close myself in the boundaries
of my mind. βAnother dream as I crave the lone moon that comes closer and is yet
so far away...one day I will bring her to a world she's never known so that
she can finally heal and become all that she's meant to beβ
