Dream (her)

Heave ho,
heave ho,
lay down your flag and go--

Heaven is but a dream on earth,
no place in reality,
so dream on, dream on.​

Dreamer, some say,
dream...her... you may?

Or let go and pray,
for she is not your dream,
and your dream is not her.

Yet you keep searching and yearning,
or is that a lie, too?
A lie you tell yourself, your kin--
why you avoid the daylight, too?

Or is that dark patch you keep scratching over your soul healed now?
Will you stop picking at it then, soon?

Heave ho,
heave ho,
lay down your flag and go--

Hell is the nightmare in your brain,
stuck in that reality,
so wake up, wake up.

Dream her, yay or nay?
Dreamer, are you, do you still pray?

Does it follow you like you followed her, too?
Is that why you feel stuck,
does it suck?

Your dream is not her,
and she is not your dream,
so pray and let go.

Do you love it,
yet you hate it at the same time?

Photograph taken in frame,
shot to shit,
melted corners--
poison tastes just the same.

Heave ho,
heave ho,
hang the new flag...
​...and go.
