A Nightmare

"A dream is a wish your heart makes,
"When you're fast asleep."
A dream is your subconscious,
Telling you what you think.
A dream is what you long for,
In the dead of the night.
But if that's really true,
Then am I dreaming right?

Tell me why, if a dream is a wish,
Why I wish for you.
Why, if a dream is my thoughts,
Why I think of you.
And why, if my dreams are a longing,
Why I long for you.

Haunting my dreams,
Walking my sleep.
Awake, you are gone,
Pushed out by me.
But still you are there,
Within me, without me,
And you are a nightmare
I can't help but love.
