Fae

Co-exist

You approach,
you talk, talk, talk,
you try to convince me – this is who I am

You ask of me
to lose consciousness,
with reality,
to lose touch

You ask of me too much

You want me to think of you
just the way you want to be seen

You want to put me to sleep
so together, we can dream your dream

That doesn’t sound like a good deal

To close my eyes,
and pretend
all that I am isn’t real

Don’t you think that,
in our search for bliss,
we should both be able to exist?
