Dreams or Reality

Gino Valentine

Sleep is close to death
The difference is a breath
So I keep my eyes wide
While my mind stays untied
Confusion is an illusion
You have to cast aside
Or your reality will collide
As you slip into a dream
An quietly subside
Feeling warm and cozy
Lips turning blue
Flesh no longer rosy
Your dreams coming true
Now your off and going
Where you have no clue
You have no way of knowing
Your last breath went through!
