Dreamer
I can feel you slipping away
like the fragments of a dream
losing shape the more I try to define them.
And yet you’re stuck in my head
like a melody, a song whose refrain
demands a voice to bring dimension to its lyrics
structured stanzas of emotions,
devotions strung together in their feeble attempt
to immortalize something that exists
only in my dreams.
