Whisper dreams

CATEGORY

life

Sometimes in your sleep you tend to ‘whisper dream’

Sharing details of your hopes, secrets, and fantasies in between

Your fears, frustrations, and desperations, it seems

So odd because, by day when I ask how are things?

You just shrug and reply that everything is okay

Later at night, much to my dismay

You tell me how you really feel and exactly how things got this way

True, I’m due a bulk of the blame

But these one way conversations are driving me insane!

I can only listen

Can’t reply or defend my position 

Brutal honesty, honestly best fits the description 

I tried to tell you the truth

Incredulous, you demanded tangible proof

But when I recorded last night’s monologue 

I panicked and paused

Confused of what you accused 

Your conscience’s truth left my ego shattered and bruised 

So I woke you up angry, screaming, demanding an answer!

How could you hide the news, for two months, that you’ve been diagnosed with cancer?
