Dreams

I tell myself not to dream
But I can't help it,
Eyes turn to that imaginary world
Where everything is perfect,
Smiles have turned to laughter,
Carefree,
Because the greatest prize has been won
And nothing seems impossible after...

I know it can't be true,
Or at least I refuse to believe it,
To cushion the inevitable fall,
I try and delay it,
The moment of truth,
And live in my dreams,
Hypnotized,
Enjoying them till they last...

My life,
A vase with dried roses,
Stands on the edge,
One careless touch and it will shatter,
I'm scared...
