Falling
In the dark
Yet not moving

Waking
To a sound
That wasn't there

Reaching
For a dream
That's still fading

Holding
On to hope
That is gone

Walking streets
Wasting time
Making memories
Days gone by

It feels so real
Yet you know it's not
It disappears
And changes plot

Shifting shapes
And changing scenes
These mystic thoughts
Are merely dreams

You wake to
A different day
Find sorrow, pain
As they fade away

You try to grasp them
Don't forget
Keep each memory
As it went

You long to
Return again
And as the darkness takes its hold
You wonder if you will, and when
What if you didn't know you were dreaming, and when you woke up all you could think about was returning to that dream because it's better than how you feel now and it's what you want. Then it starts to fade away and you start to lose it but you still have that feeling that you want it back, but each time you fall asleep there's nothing.

You dream of dreaming of the dream, and when you wake up that dream is your reality. Only when you stop thinking about that dream returning will it return, and then the same thing happens all over.
