Falling Asleep/Waking Up

Piles of blankets,

Soft music,

The room glowing blue with the light of a phone

As I try desperately to keep the sleep from my eyes

To send one more message

To let you know I'm here.

But unconsciously,

I lose the fight

And am tossed into a dream where all I see is you

A dream where you see me, too,

Or a nightmare which looks oddly like reality,

Where you don't see me at all

Invisible,

Clear in sleep and in waking,

As I wake up,

Shaken by the reality of nightmares,

I see a message from you,

And I think,

'Perhaps dreams are real, too.'
