Hope In Love

i dreamt i was running through the forest
lost in the thick of the unknown
no idea where i was
no trails to follow
no way of getting back

i dreamed i was drowning
that i couldn’t breathe
that the walls were caving in
i was being crushed on every side by the waves
all sight of dry land was gone

i dreamt i was bleeding
not just a scape, but an open wound
surrounded by a pool of crimson
the blood gushing in neverending streams
as my heart gave one final beat

i dreamt i was alone
i dreamt you were gone
i dreamt you had left
i dreamt i’d never see you again
i dreamt…

and then you reached out your hand
and i knew i was safe…
i knew i was home
