Shadowed Dream

The sun rises

Bright... Bright... Bright

The clock explodes

Ring... Ring... Ring

Time to get up

Go... Go... Go

Time to start my day

Busy... Busy... Busy

Get out of bed

Up... Up... Up

I cannot move

I will not move

Coddled by a pillow of comfort

I find no joy in the absence of love

Loneliness becomes befitting...

I must turn over

Release myself from the shackles

Of being without your love...

I turn to you

I melt into your reality...

Nothing makes sense anymore

I stop by the fountain

Take a sip

I swallow the dream

Of what makes me tick...

And then yesterday

Delusional... Possibly

Wondering... Thinking... Realizing

That it’s always been the same

You are nothing more than a shadow...

Nothing more than a dream...
