fallacies

i had dreams about you again

we laughed and played

i fall backwards into your arms and you hold me so tight i can physically feel your love on my ribs

still, when i sleep, you make me insane

i never get any rest

but dont loosen your grip

you were reading the book i let you borrow last

"The Alchemist"

funny how dreams can scream so loud

then a lucid moment, wait- this doesn't exist

before i wake

i mesmerize the outline of your lips

succumb to your memory, once more, bound

comfort in fallacies

in the sound of your laugh

in a fantasy

i am very unconcerned with the life that waits beyond the bedroom door

so i keep my eyes closed a little longer than i should

i am lying here waiting, collecting bed sores

even though i am no longer asleep

even though i told you it was a bore

i dont mean to taunt

eyes wide shut is where i taste serenity

please let me get what i want

i could rot in your arms if you let me

please stop the haunt
