Dreaming Over Daylight

Dreaming over the daylight
I wake up filled
With thoughts that are blurred
And I have tried light sleep
But I wake up feeling faint
And I think --
Who have you become?
Arianne, are you still there?
Is that even you?
I search my reflection
Hair mussed from sleep
Eyes dreary and still dreaming,
I shout above the flowers on the wall
But no one listens
In the end…
No one is even there
And I wonder,
How is this real?
This life is one dream
That I have never had
And these nights move
So
Slowly
With my eyes closed tightly
And the morning can not come fast enough
Until I realize that consciousness is living with eyes wide shut
Nothing is real
Really --
And what am I supposed to do?
Arianne?
What would you do?
