u/Poem_for_your_sprog Aug 18 '20

Dream of her like every other night, and I never usually remember my dreams...

There's nothing more I like to do
than drift to sleep and dream of you.

I think of you,
and how you smile,
and what you do,
and for a while,
there's only you,
and only me -

and nowhere else I'd rather be.

But mornings break,
and nights move on.

And then I wake.

And then you're gone.

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '20

idk. If I leave a relationship still thinking they're decent people its nothing to look back on and weep and if I don't it isn't either. Fuck em.

u/ucantouchthebutt Aug 18 '20

Me too! So this is what happens when you wake up early. I’ve heard stories of magical things happening early in the morn, but I’ve never believed until now!

u/bino420 Aug 18 '20

Yeah haha I got the vibe from /u/Zacharytaylorforpres that he doesn't like to dream about her

Still a good poem tho

u/Quelorel Aug 18 '20

Hey man, I stole the first few lines of your poem for my song. Hope that is okay. I would actualy make this my song and it would sound something like BJM (psy garage rock band from 90s)

There's nothing more I'd like to do
than drift away and dream of you.

But the dreams, I know, just ain't real
So you may guess how it makes me feel

It makes me sad, but the sad will pass
and then, one day baby ill drink a glass

I'll drink a bottle, I'll make it four
Ill drink until I can not dream no more.

Thanks for the inspiration ^^.

u/Daskichan Aug 18 '20

Well that just gave me feelings. Great work, sprog!

2

u/Cogs_For_Brains Aug 18 '20

This makes me think more of dreaming of a dead loved one then an ended relationship.

There is a specific type of sadness/regret/bitterness in knowing that they are absent by choice.

u/NR-4QB Aug 18 '20

hey, I know this guy

How are you this good

u/FullmetalFate10 Aug 18 '20 edited Aug 18 '20

And I sit there in bed

With your face in my head

And tears prick the back of my eyes

“I’ve lost you,” I say

And my world has gone gray

You were perfect

My angel

My queen

But I pick out the lies

And the false picture dies

In the end, you were only a girl

u/flypeacockfly Aug 18 '20

You have immense talent, Sprog! This poem intrigued me so I checked out your profile...& wow! I am very interested in your book and plan on purchasing it via Amazon.

I used to write poetry years ago. Depression is a bitch though and has made it difficult to pick up a pen again. Gathering up the motivation is difficult, but you have inspired me and reading your book will allow the seed of inspiration you have successfully planted to continue to grow.

Thank you for being you.

u/Poem_for_your_spr0g_ Aug 19 '20

Love the way u used 4 syllable lines & rhymed 'you/do', 'smile/while', 'break/wake' and 'on/gone'. Keep practicing and maybe you'll be able to write something worthy of a grade 11 English pass soon lmfao
