"Ding"

The dreams I hold for you,
As I settle in for sleep
Are ones of a love so true,
R.E.M. hits and my thoughts end up deep
The face that stares back at me,
I know that face all too well
Never knew it could be,
Looking over the edge into my own hell
As I was thrown into this carnival of souls,
I tried to blame you for everything and more
My eyes under the lids begin to roll,
I have entered another R.E.M. induced door
This one has shattered glass lying every place,
I try to pick up the pieces without getting cut
Then the glass suddenly forms another illusion of a face,
It's me once more and it's all for naught
I am still not learning what everything means,
I move to the next room in my mind
This one is white and empty except for a balance beam,
I walk across it without falling and finally found the sign
I read the words off the wall;
If you've made it this far my dear,
Then you have figured out that you were so near
To the one true love of your life,
Then throughout all the strife,
You let him get away.....
So if you have anything within that heart of yours,
You shall go after him and make sure he walks in the heart shaped door
Then you two can be together without fear of your dreams shattering,
You awake to the remembrance of a an alarm clock simply going "ding".

Oh I like this write of dreams.
I have crazy dreams and sometimes I cannot
fathom what they could possibly mean and I
wonder at the vastness of one's mind in sleep.

I like this!

ps. I've oft times (especially lately) have been in a dream
and my alarm goes off. I sleep through it...and my dream
turns into fighting to turn the damn thing off and I cannot
accomplish the feat! It's crazy!! lol

Lovely. Especially since I can relate. I hate my bloody alarm clock! And I say bloodly because I smack that thing a million times when it wakes me up from something SO great! If clocks could bleed, mine really would. Wonderful.
