Lost in a Dream

Lost in a world of what should have been
the thought that you loved me now seems obscene
From the hopes and fears that lie here within
the hardest admission is that I was lost in a dream.

There's no rhyme or reason, or justified feeling,
falsehood bourne of dreaming has left me unbelieving.
Time to step back from this foolish kaliedascope scene,
no more locked in the solitude I found in this dream.

Love is the answer, not wanting, nor scheming
and the courage to know that seeing is believing.
And now that I know some things are not what they seem
I will sleep and no more, and watch moonbeams creep in.

Good to see you back Ling Ling, and on such good form.

Some brilliant lines in this, particularly, in my opinion:

the thought that you loved me now seems obscene

the hardest admission is that I was lost in a dream.

and the courage to know that seeing is believing.

Enjoyed this very much.

Hey Thanks Walrus, Its one sad, crazy day when we wake up from dreaming, but to have that clarity is a gift, and we should be glad for that. On with the lipstick!!
