Dream

I had a dream
It was hard to tell
If it was good or bad
Now I find myself
Wishing it were true

How can this be?
I swore to never allow it
Yet now I wish for it
With all my heart
A heart frozen with fear

Please wake me
From this nightmare
Before I am forced to choose
A life of solitude
Or live a life for another

Those eyes are haunting
Such sweet innocence
Heart wrenching irresistibility
To have and hold
If only for a moment

I see a child
Yearning to be in my arms
And so I ask myself
Should I take the leap?
Or turn away?

I wake from the dream
Only to find that it was real
The illusion shattered
When I see the child in his arms
Begging to be in mine
