Its 4 am in the morning and here im awake
I can't sleep, and i dont no what to think
I just lay here tossing and turning
My mind blank

Then I see her, she flashes in my head
Who is she? I don't know I just met her yesterday
She told me her name
Its just a blur now i don't remember

When I turned my music on put in my phones
She was there dancing beside me
Telling me things laughing with me
She took my hand led me to the dance floor

She set my mind at ease, she let me be
Whatevers on my mind she understands
She said "I've been there too"
Sleepless nights

I look at her through my vision
I ask her " who are you?"
She turned to me then slowly dissapeared
Slipping through my reach

Come back I call " tell me who you are"
She no longer stands there
I stand in the middle of the dance floor
Standing there as if she never existed

But she exist I know
Just yesterday I met her I shook her hand
And today I will see her again and again
Its not just a dream its reality

I do not need shine or wealth, just a pen and some paper for my health

Makes two of us....I'm awake too, and with a dream I want to forget. I'm a lucid dreamer, but this one I couldn't control or change after the fact....so awake I am.

I guess we'll spend the night together, separately!

I love this poem. Great imagery. It drew me in and made me want to know more.

Good job!
