Often have dreams been frightful
Seldom are they delightful
Elaborately a world created
Disastrously that world faded
Opening eyes to witness nothings changed
Closing eyes to hide how it's pained
In that moment that was dreamt
What could that dream have meant
The gaze was true as it had been
A dream brought to end

Often have dreams been frightful
Seldom are they delightful
Elaborately a world created
Disastrously that world faded
Opening eyes to witness nothings changed
Closing eyes to hide how it's pained
In that moment that was dreamt
What could that dream have meant
The gaze was true as it had been
A dream brought to end
I envy those who have beautiful dreams. Even those who look forward to dreaming. Over the last few years mine have done nothing but frighten or torment me. Last night I had a dream and wished it never ended.
