A Dream I Once Dreamt
What hath thou done
 To capture my heart so completely
 Render me so
 Speechlessly
 Taken my faith
 And hand it back to me
 While claiming me as nothing more
 than good company
 
 I wonder if thy dreams of me
 But surely ne’er that can be
 For thine sleep must be pleasing
 And with me, there’d be no meetings
 Greetings, or a swift hello
 These might lead to dreams of woe 
 
 But I insure thou I think of you
 More often then a moon of blue
 And how you surround me so
 In many ways you’ll never know
 
 Pools of clear darkness
 Murky and opaque
 Thy hath slanted balance of the give and take
 But I give you more each day
 And watch myself fade away
 To a love not returned
 And in my soul it burns,
 Quickly though, a pain so smart
 It leaves me with lingering embitterment, naught. 
 
 I think of you
 In my conscious mind as well
 And it creates my living hell
 I have sacrificed my life
 To a trick 
 And though I miss the things I gave
 Were they ever mine to save?
 
 I shall ask you this right away
 Be careful of what you say
 Because in your mouth
 There is my heart
 Cracked already
 Worn and fraught 
 
 I speak now
 You seem so thoughtful
 Leaving me bordering awful
 In your eyes the best deception
 And I wonder if you’re a reflection
 Of a dream I once dreamt
 But in my heart thou shall still be kept
