Bitter Reality

She came to me in a dream Just as she did the night before She ran off with out a single word. The wind blew slightly Her hair brushed against the side of her face Light, feathered in the strands strayed in the wind. I intended to tell her then But fear arose that she'd run off Leaving me once again. I thought of her wildly Though unconscious. Without regret I asked if she'd run away with me I was struck with a sudden sense of deja vu Muted memories of a different time, a different place Awakened in the glimpse of her eyes. My stomach paused in wait of reply watching her hair flutter in the wind She stood naked to every emotion a world away from reality Just as the night before. For a split moment I felt the ground beneath me move Punctuated by pebbles of tongue tied slurs. An ocean of butterflies fluttered in my stomach Her soft brown eyes staring back into mine I prayed that she'd safely find her way out of my dreams Soft steps in the hall of my heart. Her reply was silent as I awoke and she remained in a dream
