The Dream

I had a dream
Or the dream had me.
I was in shadows
Or shadows were in me.

I saw forever
Or forever saw me.
I was filled with sadness
Or sadness filled with me.

I saw my lover
Or my lover saw me.
I moved to embrace her
Or she to embrace me.

I wept when I held her
Or she wept over me.
I knew I must leave her
Or she knew she must leave me.

The dream finally ended
Or the dream ended me.
I knew the dream had gone forever
Or forever knew the dream had gone from me.
