Dreams a Dream

She dreams a dream

vivid and intense

she dreams of the moment that

they could be together

That he would hold her close

and protect her from the pain

the pain of being alone

she dreams a dream

but it is only a dream

when he sees her she looks away

when he speaks to her

she is short and cool

no emotion

no dreams

nothing will escape from her

betraying how she really feels

how she wants him to care for her

as she cares for him

how she longs to see in his eyes

any trace of the emotions she feels

but they are empty

as empty as her own

so she dreams a dream

vivid and intense
