Romantic Awakening – poem

Romantic Awakening

A lousy poem by Lorenakoran

***

I was dormant

Not quite asleep

Lying there waiting

Not making a peep

*

The sky would turn

Muddy gray and white

I’d forget for a moment

Leaving space for the sky

*

I turned off so much

I didn’t even realize

How out of it I was

Till along came this guy

*

He made me no promise

He spoke what was true

He awoke my hopes

And set my dreams lose

*

What I really wanted
What I’ve never had
Only tastes and illusions

Crowded in my past

*

It felt good to remember

It felt good to hope and dream

But the truth sunk it later

I would go back to sleep

*

The gray sky is waiting

Back to my loveless coma

Remembering what was in my grasp

  That I didn’t quite have

*

Though it breaks my heart

And makes me cry

I don’t have regrets

I’ll find a way to fly

*

I hate that I don’t know when

Will it be tomorrow

Or years from now

Feeling is pain and pleasure

*

Eyes wide open

Mind alert

Knowing truth

So often hurts

*

I don’t want to go back to sleep

I wish there was a way

To stay in the moment

Never let it go away

*

Reality

My best friend

And

My biggest enemy
