Is it real?

Every night I drown in my dreams,

As I drift into the night,

The sound of my screams,

Fade with me out of sight.

 

I drown,

In the deep,

I keep going down,

And as I fall I weep.

 

Why should I cry?

Why do I let it pass me by?

I'm in love with you,

But I'm not sure if its true.

 

Are my dreams real?

Are you really here?

I think I'm losing feel,

As you come near.

 

Don't come closer,

I'm done with you,

This is becoming grosser.

Its just not true.

Life is but a dream upon waking...nice work!

I think it is interesting how you relate the fear of drowning to the fear of falling in love. I never thought of love as being as dangerous as drowning, this is a new outlook. I think this is a good poem overall.
