I
Do your dreams wake you up, too?
Do I haunt them the way you do mine?
Do I walk and talk in them, in old homes,
That now no longer exist in time?
Does the feeling of loss permeate
Through each moment of the dream?
And do you now dread sleep
Because of what might have been?
Does your heart fill with pain
And wake you up as it bursts?
Does your throat get parched
As your anxiety thirsts?
Was I but a dream to you?
Was your love something I dreamed?
Have I been such a terrible fool?
Was nothing what it seemed?
II
Dreams have you lying in bed with me;
Conversations are now not the same;
Maybe, they manifest to tell me
I was never just the one to blame.
