Alli Butterfly Sting Dance Bee Love

Alli a girl 

I used to know

From my not to distant past 

Came to me in a dream last night

Once I fell soundly I thought asleep

And that dream was this

She seemingly appeared out of
nowhere and at first kissed me upon 
my cheek honey sweet 

And I began to both simultaneously
go weak at the knee and then weep

Whence we at first did meet as she 
did at first me greet

Raining on an unfamiliar to me street 
masquerading as a movie set 

After which we fell into each other's arms 
and so began to hug with an ever tightening
grip as if to show our unrequited love 

Then the pair of us proceeded to
dance the night away like butterflies in
flight under mercury illuminated lunar
moon

And that was it in the end when time
was calling and the dream was up

And I eventually realized that morning
was dawning and I was wide awake
once again

And the painful realization that the
dream was indeed finally over 

And all i was left with was a feeling
like I had been stung by a hive of 
worker bees in protection of it's queen 

And a horrible sense of loss of once 
more losing her all over again 

And far more worse than that I also
this now know as well

That when I eventually go to bed tonight
though I may will and try as best I can 

She will no more reappear in my dreams

Than she will be here and appear in life either
