Underneath the covers
we dream our heart's desires
of horses and rainbows
before they expire
We dream of wind,
fire, and rain
hoping they will
take away the pain
Of the last heart ache
you want another
who won't break
your heart, like the others
But the dreams
bring back an old flame
of the pain
which you couldn't tame
So you are afraid
to fall in to a deep sleep
for the dreams
bring back horrors that seep
In to your fragile mind
they try to break
the protected world of yours
with love's stake
