DREAMCATCHER
by Raul Colocho
is this my sanity that's slipping
or am i just insane?
and did my impulsiveness fail me
or did i hesitate?
all of the answers that i'm seeking
run away when i'm awake
but when i close my eyes to sleep
i find the dreams don't come to me

maybe if i was wrapped in blankets
then i could hold them in
but if i really found the answers
then would i really win
and amidst all this trepidation
how is it that you feel
and what is it that you want from me?

are these images that grip me
when i think of you
all i'll ever know of dreams
and all i'll want of truth?
and is there anyone else
who can make me do
the oddities you drive me to

and maybe if i was wrapped in you
i could hold myself in
but i don't know how
to go about it
i don't know where to begin
and if we were lying there together
skin to skin
would you let me in?
