#74 of Poetry

This is a more personal poem, hinting at my struggle of becoming bi and also is about the struggle (and fears) of love.

_In Sleep_

1. A Dream

When I used to dream  
I dreamt up a fantasy  
Where I was with Ms. Perfect  
I even daydreamed of our lives  
Together, side by side.  
The dreams faded into nothing  
Nothing but memories.

2. A Nightmare

As I lie next to him  
I can't help but toss and turn  
Whilst I dream a life without him;  
I fear a life alone.  
Some say I am my own worst enemy  
Because I fear that when he says "I love you"  
He doesn't really mean it  
And that kills me inside  
Bit by bit.
