met you in a metaphorical mind-scape
and in that moment all else faded
a dazzling mode interlaced with brilliant light
i stutter...what can i say to you?
you smile, no words leave your lips
i can sense your mind
we meld into a single thought
though even in this realm my freedom
seems tainted and un-enabled
the world outside is beckoning
must i return to a realm in which you're not?
your eyes meet mine
i can stay, i must
you hold my hand
your touch...
we go alone together
to places i cannot relate
two figures lost in a blur
only our silhouettes stand solid
one last look as i feel myself slipping
as i awaken i refuse conceit
i never open my eyes
i hold onto your memory
still your face fades into darkest shadow
when will i see you again?
i try to fall back into my slumber
but no matter how i try
i find myself
stuck here
perpetually
without you
