Dreams

With the silence of dark surrounding him
his mind drifts to a place so real
Lost in himself...
his wishes come to life.
the girl he loves so deeply, holding him close,
everything he ever wanted right in front of him,
a flawlessness to be envied,
the perfect world he envisioned becomes realized,
living a life to good to be true!
he soaks in every moment of happiness.
"beep beep beep"
he opens his eyes to a blarring alarm
rain falls heavy outside his window.
looking next to him, an empty bed
a sad realness brought by reality
another day in this living hell,
he rises from bed, going through the motions again
hours pass by as he waits...
just waiting,
 waiting to get back to his dreams...
