as I dream


I could have been dreaming

with the warm sun darken my skin
I could have been sweet sleeping
but the rays were deceiving
like the size of your apartment 
and all manner of things within
I stared at the celling 
in this room I was incubating 
I stared at the stars and street lights
and throughout the darkened night
I was at the window, day dreaming
 
I saw myself walking away
looking back
you at your window
a coal-curled Rapunzel 
a princess in her castle
waving down, waving down
 simply an observer
you watch the world and it's events pass
I wonder how you hold the whole world
and how you smile with it's mass
but somehow your bright lips
mimic your bright heart and always do
sleep and wake, night and day break
rain to break up the sun
and winter, you've never been one
to leave me in the cold
without a dream to breath in
it's a simply reckoning 
it's the havoc of my dreams 
it's the opposite of love
when it's being pulled from me
here I'll sit
and watch the world
as it twists and turns away from me
here I'll sit
and watch the world
as I'm dreaming, 
as I dream
