The Dreams We See

The dreams we see are ours Nobody else's The ones that haunt us Wake us up in tears and drowning in fear We run to whoever holds us while we weep, while we remember them over and over, We're so afraid we'd lose them We're afraid this time we have will never be enough The tears stop until your mind betrays you and you learn not to turn away when they cry saying "go" You wait with patience by the door to welcome them into these loving arms You hold them Assure them that everything is alright Even as your eyes try to shut out the things you are seeing at the back of your mind And day by day you don't have to remind yourself of how precious they are and dreams don't have to show you For you only learn by fear.
