sitting in the shadows of my room

it isn’t dark at all

by myself i really am not

alone it seems

soft music engulfs me and

thoughts permeate the silence and

you engulf my thoughts

i hear your whispers

all night my dreams are you

and days too

are dreams

i wonder

perhaps too much

that life is all a dream

and then i wish

i’d never wake
