I Still Dream About You

I dreamed about you last night.
And when I awoke,
My heart couldn't breathe
So I pounded my chest with my fists
To try and restart my heart.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

I had a nightmare about you last night.

My nightmare was a perfect world.
I imagined you came back
I imagined you apologized for
Your lack of passion
And acknowledged that you made 
A mistake.

I imagined that you didn't lie again for my sake.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

I imagined that I felt you again.
I imagined your invitation to touch you
As you traced the insides of my mind
With the insides of your body.
And I felt at home again.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

I imagined her.
The girl who claims she could never
Train herself for unconditional love.
The one who I've compared to the
Moon, the sky, and the stars above.

I imagined her more hurt
Than I could imagine.

I imagined her tears streaming.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

I imagined my heart bleeding.
I imagined my love reaching
For that gleaming beam of hope.
And when I awoke I tried to cope.

I still dream about you.
I had a dream about you last night.

I had a nightmare about you last night.

Thump.

Thump.


Thump.
