As We Dream

It hurts me when you're hurtin'

It kills me when you're not alright

As we dream, the night has broken

Will this fever leave your soul tonight?



As we dream, these streets are walkin'

Blind men walk with outstretched palms

And the street lights flicker

As our sky erupts in honest bombs



And will you ever think to turn to me?

It's been, four years, 2 months, five days

You know I'll love you, always



Will you ever think to ask him why?

You run around in circles, screamin'

For someone who to save you from yourself



And as we dream these things, I'm here for you





And as we were dreamin'

The sun did make the sky anew

And as we were risen

Ruined lives patched up a crown for you



It was the frostbite on the apple

It was the snakebite in your heart

It was the tickets in the raffle

As we dream, we dream in works of art



It was the poison in the medicine

It was the apple baked inside the tart

It was a chance to say "auf wiedersehen"

As we dream, we dream in works of art



Yeah, as we dream, we dream in works of art

Yeah, as we dream, we dream in works of art



Oh, as we dream...

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is a direct response to the first guy who commented. Pull the stick out of your ass. This isn't about my problems, or unrequited love or any of that bs. I'm done w/ angst ridden poetry. This was written to try to cheer a friend up. And perhaps I'm not a good poet, but poetry isn't something I actively pursue. I'm not taking offense, but jeez, what monkeys threw shit on your parade?

Hey Moser. I know you said not to read this stuff but I was so tempted... Like I said, I don't really dig poetry, but I'm diggin' this. Nice work man.

our sky erupts in honest bombs? teenagers should not write angst ridden poetry. please, don't write about love, pain, or the trauma of living because you are not old enough to know. THIS IS TO ALL YOUNG PEOPLE TRYING THEIR HAND AT VERSE. just stop.
