The dark man of dreams

the figure without any face

is taunting me

is haunting me

from his hidden place



The dark man of my dreams

killer of the hoping heart

is choking me

has broken me

since we did part



And until my awakening

I never felt

a single thing

But as winter turns to spring

I sense his loss

in everything



The dark man of my dreams

sentry at the slit of my soul

If I dare to ask

will you let me pass

or eat me whole



Dark man of my dreams

this information you keep

will it frighten me ?

enlighten me ?

or make me weep



Perhaps you feel like stepping in

don't fool yourself

you ain't him !

It's my projection,mine alone

you've got no business here

Go home !



The dark man of my dreams

I'm told I'm a lot like you

and if that means

what I think it means

I must be in your dreams too
