dreams I didn’t



behind this verse
was what isn't... that you I'm
looking at haunting me calling me
to a bed soiled with dreams I didn't
ask to see the two of us waiting at
a hospital nigh unto the dawn for
news that neither wants to
and I shouldn’t have
listened to
those

stillborn
dreams looking
past vacant eyes
too shocked too
tired to sleep
or think & I
couldn’t
close
my
eyes
and let
remember
fade and a new
begin cause it somehow

just wouldn’t
let me

neat effect, and better for what's said.

The only difference between the creative and the conformists is that the creative will not be conquered and the conformists already are.
