Can I dream A wonderful dream One of fae Two of heartbreak Three of redemption My many fantasies, All left unspoken Is it wrong To live in a dream Let the dream wrap around me like a comforter, So I may go to sleep I see it as the sun My thoughts the revolving planets, Starry details thread it together My quilt of the solar system Of course, I know it's wrong The bickering in my ear is constant From peers and blood, I duct tape my mouth shut Imagine ripping out my vocal chords like blue and red wires, I've skinned my knees on rocky pavement Unconsciously prostrating myself "Let me dream. Let me breathe" The girl won't stop begging Her gasps are sloppy Her voice is carrying How troublesome When will it become apparent to her Dreams are weights attached to one's ankles She's sinking She's drowning
