Dreams Know the Truth

I have spent my days building walls.
Reassuring myself no cracks were showing.
Living with this constant knowing:
Eventually everything must fall.

So when the darkness of the days comes,
So useless it is for me to run.
The images come, I just give in.
If only it were real again.

This routine I do not desire;
Picturing you only causes pain.
I realize with you there is nothing to gain.
Ending this is dire.

But once more I lie down to rest.
My feelings no longer repressed.
Seemingly so real, yet so uncouth,
My dreams always know the truth.
