I begged for a dream

Yet I was only greeted by darkness

A veil of noir clouding my mind

I begged for a dream

Feeling at ease laying down with her head on my chest 

The world where all was peaceful and the sun was bright

I begged for a dream, a dream that would never come

A train that would never leave the station

A sentence that was never spoken

On these nights my only hope was to fall into that place in my mind where all was calm

The white nights I endured never brought me comfort

Only begging, and when asked why I long to reach a dream

I replied "that's the only time I wake with no nightmares"
