Dream States Develop

Dream states develop another day goes by I seem to get lost yet I don't understand why It's not like I haven't seen this before My problem is I wanted something more. As the dreams get much deeper I drift from this place I just retreat inward to a place that is safe I don't think it because of things that I fear I just miss the things that I once held dear. Transitions start to falter and it seems to get dark I look for my place so I can just leave my mark A haze clouds my eyes and then I don't see I can't understand the way things will be... Just like still water thoughts start to get deep They come to the surface and then retreat I just can't seem to find the path today Maybe I left the path and went the wrong way. As the dreams become nightmares I awake from this sleep The pieces of the puzzle lie scattered at my feet Where once had been reason I get consumed by the past I was going to wait because I'm moving way too fast. I awake and wipe the sweat from my head Then I can't seem to even get out of bed I gasp for my breath but I'm suffocating So many pieces with none of them relating. For all the mistakes and the price that I pay I still seem to be able keep all fears at bay I think I might leave that is if I may It seems like tomorrow yet it is today.
