Dream's Last Page



I was so tired last night, my sweet

yet when I closed my eyes

still, no sleep.

Too many awkward words

and then, silence at the end.

Is this the way it is

as you say, "the way it has been"



Here lately the sun rises

but doesn't seem to shine,

what happened to the days when I felt your heart was mine?

Lately night comes

but darkness doesn't seem to fall,

what happened to the evenings we had it all?



My thoughts racing, getting nowhere

driven crazy as my eyes lay with a stare

being a dreamer I am lost,

but all this at what cost?



What does all of this say about me

say about you,

does it really mean we are through?

My heart weeps at such thoughts crossing my mind

I'm losing time.



Mistakes in life cost

sometimes beyond repair

even through all the love we share

dreams get lost,

does this mean I don't love you

or that you don't love me,

no it doesn't

and that was never a mystery.



Can I fully please you from so far away

fill your heart's desires in every way?

Is all this really enough for both you and I

or will we both unknowingly continue to make each other cry?



I am tired, yet sleep doesn't come

my eyes heavy, but dreams are none.

Lost in love, afraid to let go

a dreamer's shattered stage

in a dream's last page.
