I Need To Be A Dream M Q Walters
I am never what I seem,
Because I need not to be real.
For if I am only a dream,
Then I can never feel.
How can I lose another you,
If I have never been?
What tokens could be due
For one who has never known sin?
If I were never that child
That grew up much to fast
Who watched all hopes be defiled,
While cast into adulthood vast.
I cannot go back to then,
Or change one grain of my destiny.
Nor can I alter where I have been
And so it the same I cannot make you see.
That I am never what I seem
Because I’ve needed to not be real.
More so I’ve needed to be a dream,
For if I was only that I could not feel.
