Reality

Uh... yea.... I really don't know.... Comments?

One day I'll wake up,

And this will all just be a dream.

What I'm living now,

This can't be reality.

Days go by,

It seems,

In moments.

The world cries out,

And gives us silence.

No, this isn't reality,

I forbade it to ever be.

As you died, was there anyone there?

Now that she is dying,

Is there anyone that will care?

Rotting, fading,

Dying breaths,

Given to those who have nothing left.

The strength that leaves as you become old,

The sadness it brings once you become cold,

It deepens the sadness that could never be told.

No, this isn't reality,

I have forbade it to ever be.

We all die,

Yes so it is,

And so it shall ever be,

But watching you two fade away,

It hurts us all more day by day.

Of course this just has to be real,

But for once, I'd like to strike a deal.

Make this all unreality,

Leave us from this place,

And in return, I shall go.

Just take us from this pain.

It just scares me,

Breaking so deep,

That this is my reality.

So please, if you will,

Hear my plea,

Make this, for once, unreal to me.
