dreaming (yet I am awake) or am I?

in my dreams,

(dreams that run through my blood)

you surface. there’s

no light, no lies but

only truth and us

our lives bare

in the dark

as the thread tangles

as I pass and you pass by

as our eyes meet at the point

where love is nothing (can’t be anything)

and

you see something deeper

behind those eyes.

I see nothing.

in dreams, dreams

that run through my blood (iron

hiding in my blood)

there’s no waking up

only us and the truth

that unravels as we

pass. a moment of

touch that

shatters my shadow(s)

in the dark.

in dreams

(dreams that run in my blood)

you surface. and wreck my insides

with a look.

til there’s no reality

no illusions

only us and truths.

not love.

(never love)

only truth that

lies bare

so hollow

so full

we can’t look

away. only

deeper.

(into nothing.)

(into everything.)

into your eyes.

into my eyes.

into the distorted reflection

that surfaces on my

blood that drips,

bleeds from fresh scars.

in dreams,

dreams that run in my blood

(I drowned and you surfaced).

in dreams,

dreams that run in my blood

I drowned (I woke up).
