If Only in My Dreams

she comes back to me
dancing around so easily
blue eyes shining wide
smiling ever so carefully
but underneath it all
behind her dexterity
where she hides her lies
in her subtle complexity
the sacred vision scared
of the little girl I see
only coming around
when she really needs me
and in time she cries
speaking now so honestly
with fear in her voice
echoing ever so hauntingly
she’s afraid of knowing
what she wants to be
afraid of who she’s become
so scared of losing me
but realizing her mistakes
whisper her tears of misery
maybe came a little too late
but we both say we’re sorry
and in time we’ll forget
why we move so cautiously
crawling around broken promises
clawing away at complacency
she comes back to me
if only in my dreams
