I don’t want them.
I’m scared to sleep again because that’s where the dreams live
My dreams don’t know that hope feels like death
That thoughts of you need to be closely filtered,
monitored, redirected and pushed away
Lest I start crying and not stop until
my body has lost all of its water in tears
My dreams are where I remember
you played on my body like a jungle gym
Where every kiss seared my soul
The big dream has yet to be told
that no one is coming to the party
and it is still building the venue
The dreams are where
memory, fantasy and hopes grow
in fertile soil without knowing
there is no sun to feed them
and the water is running dry
Time is returning to me
And you’re gone
