The alarm blares somewhere in the distance, and I'm drawn back to reality
With open eyes and an empty heart I wrestle with my pillows, and fall to my feet
I'm a zombie with my routine, and as always a single tear caresses my cheek
It is the only love I get, cold as it rends through the tissues on my face
Driving is heart pounding, for I never know how I make it
My mind fails me in this time, as it falters with the memory
Work is a fantasy, I'm someone they want me to be
Yet the reality scares even myself away from me
My eyes are tired, heavy with dispare, though I sleep
The sleep is endless and futile, barely there, invisable to me
I worry that some one may see this identity I pretend to be
It is a factitious pleague, a phantom genuinely
But there are no dreams for the broken soul, that never sleeps
The dreams that haunt my existance, breaking veracity
My blood are late, until heaven we meet
For there are no dreams to comfort me
So I walk this world, until death finds me
The broken soul, a Phantom with no dreams

i feel the need to dream as well... where dreams elude even the hint of mine own.
the flow and words were great. i love how you just ran with it all. i seem to connect to this piece, for many of us feel the same way. dream and sleep alike never come to a working soul, and we are all guilty of never indulging to let them come in. great pice and thanks for sharing.

I think that it has great imagery and I really like the quote too; but this is much deeper than the quote and really brings it to life.
