A helpless dream
There was a battle within me
A silent war amidst my own people
the reason for which I could never understand.
In this conflict I was fighting with myself
driven by an intense longing for something.
Suddenly everything fades away
the fog lifts and I see you in my dreams. Even in that dream I lose you somewhere.
When I couldn’t bear the pain of this loss I woke up from my dream
Only to remember that you are unattainable even in my dreams.
I wish for you in the dreams within my dreams
But you are so precious and unique that even there you remain beyond my reach.
I feel helpless just thinking of you.
I am so unlucky that whatever I touch whatever I desire never becomes mine.
