Double Edged Nothing

I dream of only you

In the night I wake

alone and sobbing. 

And when I slip back into sleep

you reappear and see me with a wicked

grin for you know my secret.

My greatest desires

can be made real in that world in between

unconsciousness and reality.

When the light shines through my

window waking me to this hellish existance

I long for the place 

traveled to only by the sleeping

and those who appear to be. 

I seek only to travel there again

And in the fitful state of waking

I can not breathe. I find this happens a lot

as I steady myself for its permanance. 

And while I walk about the day, oh daylight

seems to be the dream turned nightmare.

The desire to stay in the world in between

taunts me. 

I greet it with a smile.
