Sweet Dream and Our Demons

I will love you but I will not dance with your demons.

Sweet Dream

I dreamed of you

And held you

Your bare white skin

Delicious against mine

So needed, so long

So long denied

And then I awoke alone.

I dreamed of you

And held you

Your bare brown skin

So smooth, so fine

And it was good

And it was right

And I awoke alone.

But I smiled.

Our Demons

I will love you

But I will not dance with your demons.

I’ve been there, I’ve done that

And it doesn’t work.

It never does.

You are on your own,

And I am on my own.

And we are on own

Together.

As we always are.

This is how we will survive

This is how we will persist.

This is how we will be

One.

And we will become us.
