Screw Dreams

My gaze will always hold you

  In the most angelic pose

    With morning flowers and misty dew

      I have the sweetest dreams when I doze

      Do not pinch, or I might awake

    And find out this is not true

  My heart and world it would break

If I wake and do not see you

It is too late, it now seems

  You are nowhere to be found

    I have grown sick of these dreams

      And the way loneliness sounds

      My fondest wish has now turned

    Into a truth I can not bear

  Dreams are reality spurned

For how can the real world compare

Am I doomed to forever search

  For something that can not be found

    How can the clouds be my perch

      When my feet are stuck to the ground
