Single

Lie in bed, awake
Thoughts of the day
Dreams of the night
Merge until you can’t separate
Here everything is possible
Repeat the failures
Relive success
Improve on either
Again, again and forever

Lie in bed, asleep
The images that come are not real
They will flicker
Fade with the sunrise
Nothing but fantasy
But sometimes more real
Than the thoughts that preceded them

Lie in bed, alone
No one to hold close
Loneliness that dominates the night
Unwanted?
Loneliness that dominates the day
Everyone else is loved
But not you

Another night, awake
The dreams of the day
And the thoughts of the night still mingle
Here nothing is possible
Except to relive the failures
And forget the successes
Improving on neither
Feels like forever
