Dream

Dream

Sometimes I feel like this is a dream

Maybe more so a nightmare

My heart is ripped to the seam

The pain is so hard to bare

Every step is a mile

Every breath is a drag

It’s so difficult to smile

All my feelings are in a bag

A bag so cluttered I can’t see

Anything nice anything joyful

Before I used to believe

That this wasn’t my bag

Every passing moment takes an eternity

Every day seems too long and keen

There is an empty ocean around me

I wish this was only a dream

 

One word that I never thought I would have to say

Were the words, goodbye I wish the best for you

I know every thought comes to my mind

That maybe there was more that I could do

But now I know maybe this was meant to end

And I hope and pray for you my best friend

That you found love and in the end you see

Me as a thought, a sweet memory

I loved you then I still love you now

But from what I see, I know you’ve found

A love unspeakable, a movie type love

A love that I had once, then it fallen short of

The feelings I had, maybe even the feeling you had

And in the end I know it is sad

But fear not my friend, I wish only great things

All I know in the end maybe this was a great dream
