Written early one rainy Sunday morning.

Bitter Dreams

I dream at night of something
I know I'll never have
I dream of being happy
I wake up sad

I realize very clearly
what it is I desire
knowing I'll forever
be caught in this mire

My eyes water
and my heart quivers
my mind siezes
my soul shivers

I inhale deeply
and release all the pain
bow my head in silence
and stroll off in the rain

Back
