Analysis of THE DREAM (PART 2)
another night the dream so feared
my mind knew well my heart unwise
before the dawn she reappeared
yet eagerly i sought her eyes
it still felt wrong
my conscience burned
so gliding near
my heart it yearned
forgave forgot
but never learned
i so indulged
as hope returned
knowing not the dreamers fate
seduced by memories so real
where heaven haunts so hell awaits
a cut so deep can never heal
her face it froze
cruel walls disguised
emerged collapsed
and crystallized
suspended hung
in dreams of men
what once was found
is lost again
