Real not Dream

Dream not Real

By Vicious AvaricePublished 2 years ago 1 min read

All my life I’ve been asleep

Dreaming of clearer skies

And as I slept you kept me close

Watching with your eyes

You saw me grasp

So many things

Most men never see

And when I tried

To stir awake

You silently left me

I’ve asked myself

So many times

How I could let you go

And the truth it came

As I fell asleep

I had no love to show

For I’m a dreamer

Who sleeps by day

The stars within my eyes

But you were real

No fantasy dreamt

The truth beneath my lies

I’ve not the strength of arm to grasp

Your hand to hold you here

I do not live within this world

It’s best that you’re not here.
