the fall

when the daydream lives inside 
      imaginations desires 
and when desire and reality
        are not one
 
                   but two

dreams burn inside 
                 the truth

eyes awaken to see a new sunrise
 
 the truth is shown inside 
                      this new light

the light shining 
                upon 
                 the awaking reality

[that what we want 
sometimes what’s not meant to be]

staring into the mirror of dreams
       desire stares back

but when the dream is shattered 
and the realisation cuts into truth

                    Deep

tearing into a heart beating true
