#WritcoPoemPrompt82
At night when I lay in bed,
As I drift towards my sleep,
When the eve becomes shadowy red,
My slumber has begun deep,
Now sleep being the cousin to death
It's not as real as it may seem
My spirit floats above my body
Now I know it's just a dream
My body hits the concrete
Mouth open no words spoken
Only for me to wake up to find no bones are broken.
I sometimes can't tell what's real...so much confusion
In total sweat I sometimes forget that it's all just an illusion
Only in my dreams do I find myself untouched
It's when I'm awake I get hurt most
Please don't wake me up
