Baby dreamingA Poem by LisaButterfly
I had a dream
I had a dream I had a dream But it was your dream And I was living through you I was celebrating through you I was holding the moment with you And I loved it But I didn't feel That is was me I didn't feel That it was celebrating me I felt that I was celebrating you And The absence of my dream Made it hard for me to completely be with you I was celebrating your dream That I ended up having a dream But it wasn't a dream It was a strong part of me that wasn't there to begin with That it woke me up I didn't know whether I was in a dream or in reality My dream was about my baby And about how I had a baby And the baby was mine I woke up believing there was a baby In me I looked around my room and walked to the spare room to check There was no crib No God damned nursery rhymes I realised that there was no baby for me to be worried about I was so ditressed that night The fear inside my heart was so strong That I went upstairs And I got the heatpack I warmed it up I slept with my heatpack that night Crazy I know But the warmth of that heatpack Relaxed my heart And the fear that was in the chasms deep deep inside my soul The fear that I had accumulated for such a long time That I had squashed away in a part of me that I didn't even know there was room for The oppression of my desires had manifested into a visualisation that this baby was mine and that I had lost it and thats why I woke up Because I have been celebrating you so long And I have been celebrating you so long And I had pushed it to the depth of me And I no longer knew who I was I had become the baby I was the one yearning for sustenance It felt the same as the longing to be held To be a baby And I just fell back asleep that night © 2015 LisaButterfly |
