In A Dream 1 Poem by Wilfred Mellers

In A Dream 1



In A Dream
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Sunday, December 2,2012

You came to me in a dream
I held you tight lasting the night
You began to fade away
I didn't want to wake to face the day
Holding on tight my eyes began to tear
For all I want is to hold you near
Now sleep won't come back to my eyes
Waters flow to drown the skies

Promises to you I can't keep
So all I want to do is go back to sleep
No use counting sheep
So now I just sit here and I weep
My heart won't give me a break
That's why I sit here wide-awake
I know it's quite extreme
But the only way I can be with you is in a dream

Nothing is as it seems
In my soul my heart, it screams
My life I can't remake
You I won't ever forsake
Suffering now from a huge headache
That's why I don't want to stay awake
I don't want to see another daybreak
Not another moment I can take

From reality, I want to escape
In my dream my existence, I shape
Missing you is more than I can bear
Please dreams take me back there
Actuality is endless nightmares
For in, my dreams reality disappears
You are in my bloodstream
My only way to be with you is in a dream
