Once I Dreamed a Little Dream
it was of someone I once knew
but I did not yet know
it was of love and kindness
a union of spirit a familiar soul
but this was only a dream
drifting in my night
my heart takes flight
during summers sad moments
all alone in dreams dreamt of you
I feel you I know you or how you are not
this dream will linger in my heart
when I awake the sadness returns
a bittersweet feeling of losing something
unknown in a dream
like the drops of doom
I could not shake years
of isolation from my heart
deep in my soul
were I not to chase the dream
Would I not know the love of divinities' devotion?
If I don’t try…
…could I survive the inevitable
empty Room…
A soul takes when love breaks.
I pondered why you were sent
once I found someone
a time long ago
Someone to have N to hold
someone I never knew
I was afraid of it
afraid it would feel small n fall away
like my dreams dreamt along the way
and I will feel weak and lie awake
wondering why
I would walk in the afterthoughts of you
I awake with the sadness
from a Dream, I once Dreamt
of you or someone I thought I knew
It will return as bittersweet feelings
I could not scrub away
the feelings like bitter thick dew,
maybe that was my fear
bloody and cruel,
I could not run from dreams dreamt of you
Afraid it would break a fragile image of you
until I woke and that feeling did not flee
Was not fragile or fleeting like morning dew
As this was reality
a dark but sweet feeling
I felt memory cover me
I try not to flee
I did not want to shake
your future visions free
As you are sold real mine to hold
years still come and go
always something new
And now I will dream a different dream
of one spent forever with you
