and if you could see my dreams
could see my dreams of you
you would wish you were me
not that that would change anything
except the gender of the dreamer
you could see my dreams
if you could see my dreams
see my dreams like a theater of the heart
and feel my great love for you
not that that would change anything
despite the gender of the dreamer
feeling my great love for you
that would not change anything
however you would feel what I feel
exquisite as that may be
my dreams
if you could see my dreams of you
not that that would change anything
despite the gender of the lover
seeing my dreams of you
exquisite as they may be
grandiose as they may be
romantic as they may be
seeing my dreams of you
taken away by my dreams of you
until there is nothing of you left
greedy relentless urgent grasping
like a child neglected
seeing my dreams of you
until there is nothing of you left
guilty in your heart
regardless of your aching past
urging you on
excruciating as that may be
useless as that may be
torturous as that may be
going deep into your soul
despite the gender of the dreamer
until there is nothing left
there is nothing left but love
nothing left but dreams of love
exquisite as they may be
like a child’s heart
refusing to give up my dreams of you
touching you softly endlessly so and so and so
elegant as that may be
exquisite as that may be
that may be
useless or fruitless or futile
overwhelming as that may be
empty as that may be
even if you could see my dreams of you
