Tides
for moments in dreams it is not real
you are back again and i can really feel
but the dreams swim against the tide
the one of my waking reality
the loss and the hurt haunt my sanity
yet for moments, i can pretend
that everything is okay
i can stumble and fumble through the day
but then, this gap and this space
reminds that there is no going back
and it leaves the saddest look on my face
i am torn into pieces inside
and in dreams we are back together again
but the dreams swim against the tide
the one of my waking reality
