Beneath the noise, below the din
Caught Dreaming
-----------------------
I gave in, again.
It happens every time.
One second I'm yearning, aching,
And in a wink we merge.
"This is bliss, sealed with a kiss,
We together are wielding love,"
This is what you told me.
As you tickle me senseless,
With the feather-weight of your promise;
Now look what you've (un)done.

I'm the same person I was last night,
Only now I know your tricks,
Those things you do for kicks.
You look so pathetic with the lights turned up.
Today I'm making the promises; ya know,
Those things you're fond of breaking.

I promise not to delight in your lies, for starters.
But it started long ago... progressively got worse.
They warned me about feeling,
Said you'd drive me deep into a heart-shaped hearst.
I shut my eyes to it; I'll gladly go blind, if seeing clearly
means leaving my prefabricated dreams behind.

You were in them, those dreams.
I figured you were dreaming, too.
Stupid, stupid, stupid...
I've wasted my tears on you;
Spent countless, endless years on you!
I'm only just realizing...
You never professed your love.
The shades of discolored lust, mesmerizing;
But a vague suggestion,
A tainted reflection, merely,
With me filling in the blanks...
While dreaming.
