[hometext] => Sometimes, love ain't naught more than a sweet dream...
[bodytext] => I am in a trance
But somehow I'm not
Because when I see you
I know
You despise me
Spit me out
No, it is not even that
I don't exist at all
For I'm no part of your thoughts
That are filled
With sunshine
And new clothes
With blue skies
And that delicious new flagrance
With pink blossoms
And that great new movie
But not with me
But still
You laugh at me
Exuberant
When no one watches
Stealthy
In a faceless crowd
And you beam
While the rest fades
To achromatic stripes
You suck all energy
Out of me
Like a vampire
I am
...an empty cover...
I reach for your red mouth
...but I can't get advance...
My arms stretched
For my screaming clock radio

I was drawn by the title which is a line from a really good song by Eurythmics (later covered by Marilyn Manson)
Anyway great write and not what I expected, kinda like an angsty love poem which is really cool!
***Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused*** by Eurythmics |

"You suck all energy
Out of me
Like a vampire
I am"
Very powerful. So often I feel like this at work. The demands just suck the life force right out of me. For those 8 + hours I feel like an old woman trapped in a young womans body.
Adored this poem. Very much so.

| The pre awakening time is just right for dreaming. Sometimes our dreams are just wishful others it is of a precognitive view of things. Your poem is saying just that I like the idea and by the way my best dreams come just before awakeing, Cheers bernard. |

What an interesting piece. The structure was so fast that I kept reading it without anytime to suspect such a nice ending as you included here. It was a quick, yet deep read. I like it.

| Like a vampire with doing good, the poem is made of such. Keep reaching for the skies now and doing good. |
