Dreaming While You Sleep

by J James - Pisces

tomorrow lets go further
a level you've never bothered
to look at before
I've sat on my floor
a million times
thinking of rhymes 
to swoon you
about stars and moons
we'd sit under and tear asunder
all the ones who
tried to tear us down
I lie around sometimes
and sing you a lullaby
when you're not around
hoping you were sound asleep
since I was losing so much of it 
over you…
and me…
and the lack there of it
I lie awake dreaming of you sometimes
dreaming of times we ought to have 
but cant because of 
present circumstance 
I can't stand faith's failure
to bring together what needs to be
sometimes I wait and see
how many times I think
the phone's ringing…
and its not
hurts more than a 
shot in my chest 
when you're not around
l look around sometimes
at these same four walls
and wish they were yours
sometimes too
I wish it'd all come true
till then, I don't think
I'll sleep a wink till they do
Would you?…or have you slept all the while…?
