My Dreams


You often loom in my dreams.
But when I face reality, the endless road is not what it seems.
I didn't think I was asking too much,
When I reached my soul out for your touch.

I glissade away to Dreamer's Land,
Which is the only place you hold my hand.
I reach out upon a glistening star,
But you only see me from afar.

I seek to find the sparkle in your eye.
I could choose to let time pass by.
Instead I ache to find the one,
Until this dream is virtually done.

I see escapades of love,
and bottles of happiness.
There's mountains of trust,
and oceans of faithfulness.
There is a river of honesty's only galore,
and with all the extras reaching out for more.

But when I awake from this delusion,
I'll recognize that my heart has deceived me with illusion.
For I know that you are not here.
In my dreams are only where you appear.

You come and leave and often go,
Leaving my heart suspended low.
I think of the moment you held me tight.
I loved it so much, I thought it was right.

I fall asleep thinking of you and me.
But when I wake up, it's a remorseful memory.
Only because I put myself through inflicting pain.
Causing myself more than I gain.

Why can't my dreams come true?
That I could be with you.
I'll go on to reminisce,
Of the dreams I had that were true bliss.
