Secrets in My Sleep

Wild Ride

By SaentPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

I didn’t understand

Even though I was the one with the steering wheel in my hand

You were in the backseat of the car with a car seat and a plan

To what ends do we go to get what we want?

No matter what parties we’ve gotten involved

What loses me is in the rear view mirror seeing the carseat

Because how in the world could this be?

For 6 months a baby that you hid from me?

The math is incomplete

Out on your own

What place is the baby calling it’s home?

Certain it’s my psyche playing tricks on me

But it’s unlikely

There’s something you’re not telling me

And by looks of a baby in the backseat

It’s something extreme

Something you’re ashamed of

Because why not tell me?

If you and I is we

Subconscious has a funny way of getting information I need

No matter what the case may be

I go to sleep and wake up in my dreams

Discovering the truth brought to me

Now to this day you hide from me

Run from having to tell me the story

The truth shall set you free

Siren lights around the car on me

You get out and take the babyseat

I’m left behind

What tragedy

For me

To see

And not understand

Why it’s happening

The saying nothing is ever as it seems

Thank goodness it was somewhat of only, just a dream
