Last nights dreams brought me pain
when I woke there was no rest to gain
for sorrow was embedded in my bones
and weighed my heart as if with stones.
In daytime hours I can put you away
and pretend to myself you hold no sway
over my every waking thought and action,
a foolish attempt at a love retraction.
The night comes with uncensored dream
to point out that how things truly seem,
is not how I would make believe,
that these futile attempts do not deceive.
So at night, our love again rekindled,
where in the daytime it had dwindled,
it awakes, vengeful and passionate
affirming what the day would not admit.
