I drift off to sleep
In my dreams I dwell
Floating within an orbit
Somewhere between heaven
and hell.
Chased, pursued
Trying not to be caught
Lessons learned
Lessons taught.
Faces pass by
Almost in a blur
I use to know them
Now I am not sure.
I wish I could sleep
Have all this just stop
But I travel through time
As easy as a skip and a hop.
One time I am a younger self
Then I am frail and old
I wish I could remember
Oh the stories that could
be told.
As I am running through this dream
I feel the dripping sweat
Wanting to wake
Wanting to forget.
