while i'm dreaming
(september 20-21 + 26)

it's dark outside at this time tonight
almost midnight now as i turn out the light
i climb into bed and am rid of my sight
praying that i dream of you so i just might
as false visions appear i smile in my sleep
of course you're there, making my body weak
but you don't reciprocate, so my feelings i keep

while i'm dreaming you do things you would never do
like keep contact with me while i stare at you
in my dreams i'm laughing while your arm rests on my shoulder
you give me your jacket because without it i'm colder
i can't resist you when you just exist
i try to but my heart delicately persists

colors and shades of black, grey, and beige
my heart feels alone but its locked in a cage
as my eyes flutter open reality hits
i think you might know the feelings i emit
