Lost in thought

Have you seen me?
Its like I’m lost inside a dream.
Are you here now?
There’s no reality, it seems.

You’re all just figures of my sleeping,
Because this life just can’t be real.
I’m imagining this weeping;
Imagining I feel.

Held within a nightmare;
Surreal and all in guise.
Tell me, can you see me?
Or have I lived
By dream’s harsh lies?

- And so it was that time stood still -
     (blink, breathe, stand, fight)

Alyssa - to this I can only say -  powerful words here:

I’m imagining this weeping;
Imagining I feel.

Imagining I feel - wish so sometimes dont we?  

I love to read you - in my head most of the time - and there is a thin line there between feeling and not - very nice xxoo

Sue,
Thanks so much. And yea it would be nice for the things to be imagined sometimes, but then its so tragic when you find that what you've faught for wasn't real. Or when things just don't seem like they actually happened, like death or.. so many things. I don't think I'm making sense, its late lol.
Scares me to think ym words are ever in your head! but, I am honored, thanks again

Tanya,
So glad you enjoyed, and thank you for replying too. Hey we live in the same state too enjoying the rain? hehe

Always, Alyssa

Alyssa,

Sounds like you are saying you don't have nightmares, you live them.
Very understandable.


Hugs and love, Pat

The nature of reality is always open to question, if you dare to question it. And if you question it once, you will never totally believe it again.

Pat,
yep thats about what I was saying. In my own confusing questioning way. thanks for replying.

Ethel,
thank you so much that really does honor me for you to say. I don't write for it to turn out good or change anyones life. I write so I can get these crazy thoughts out lol

inked,
thank you and yes, some things we can just never be sure of. Guess thats where faith comes in.. or common sense..which I lack! lol

ngoliant,
thats sad but true I believe. After too long of things like this I'd become skeptical and cynical I suppose. Thanks for replying

yeah i liked i too.

i had a nightmare one time, but i woke up and it was over. thank god too, because i woke up and my dad was bob saget and my neighbor was ralph macchio, and he was alll hopped up on crack cocaine and he kept trying to pawn me off to all the old ladies down the street. awful dream.

but on a serious note, i thought the poem was very creative in its own way.

Blues,
Seems we're all in the same dream together though, so fake or not I guess thats good thanks for understand, for reading, and for replying!

Noah J,
If my dad ever had a hint of being Bob Saget then I might just run away and never come back!! Oh and, I'm sure ya just loved those old ladies ...I'm glad you liked it, thanks for replying.

Always, Alyssa
