The Dreams of You Are Nothing New

I had a dream where I told you why
It took everything I had not to cry

Funny how I had close to nothing, so it really wasn't hard
What hurt more was your glare digging into me like a glass shard

You went off and with each sentence you spoke I was a different name
But the time arrived where you needed to complete a minor task, so I went back from which I came

A task so simple and easy to be put off
But once I had told you I hadn't finished, all you did was scoff

I had barley spoken at all, practically useless that I had come to see you
For the entire time was spent with you shouting at me, as if you had nothing better to do

I turned and left, you offered to drive me home
As if the conversation held before was nothing, but I declined, down the street I began to roam

Then out of the blue a friend appeared, she bared her shoulder for me to cry on
The lump in my throat fizzled out and tears were shed until dawn

I awoke and was unfazed
Even if the dream left me in a minor haze

I'd like to think I was bleary from sleep, at least that's the way it seems
But for now I'll continue to weep, but only in my dreams
