Just A Dream
I wake with a start A kiss jolting me to reality It was just a dream I can still feel your heat your soft lips It was just a dream I held your hand It felt right in mine It was just a dream You stole my breath Your face near mine Your eyes shining with love I used to see But it was just a dream | Maybe
Maybe it is easier to believe your own lies To accept a world created from hurt Someplace to hide when life plays too rough Maybe we welcome fantasy something to relieve our minds our hearts from pain Maybe if we did not build pretty facades Did not delude ourselves Then maybe just maybe we could find some peace A little solitude in feeling that we were actually seeking a future less bleak |
Truth Love they say is a lasting thing Something you can count on Like a rock, I heard someone say But love is fickle love is vain A myth built on wishful thinking that one human can, will wants to be all to another A silly dream made by dreamers with more time than brains Humans hurt, kill, torture There is no love to speak of in this world designed by such men as the ones I gave my heart to | False AdvocatesThey wear their sexuality like pink cloakswrapping themselves in social stereotypes Slender hipped, tight, toned, Abercrombie cute Style painted in shades of designer hues on their too tight denim and popped collar polos Clones of counter culture, pretending individuality Cookie-cutter cuties like Kewpie dolls, boy Barbies Speaking a language steeped in lisps, silly slang Singing diversity, begging equality, giving the enemy every reason to ignore them |
To Dream Broken dreams fall from my heart like raindrops on desert lands Wasted drops of hope that will never quench undying thirst Count me out for counting on anything I have no more patience for dreaming | I Know Your Secrets You always wore your indiscretions with a self-righteous smile A clown face painted bright I know about those nights with borrowed boys Times you brought them home Pretty little prizes trophies of your conquest Had them in our bed Told them my lies You thought you were smart trying to cover tracks Changing soiled sheets Deleting messages You thought you had me fooled A fool, I always was for you But fooled – Never |
