Alter Ego

I was caught sideways in a dream last night

The content of which was a total fright

The dream was yours, it wasn’t mine

You just included me for a short time

From now on though, if you must dream

Don’t include me in your brazen scheme

Without your help, I prefer my own

All of my dreams have a quieter tone

From your dreams discontent grows

And you won’t let old wounds close

I’ll stave off sleep until the dawn

Or until my dreams come and yours are gone

You need to forget the past and embrace the new

And make your dreams a harmonious view

You do your part and I’ll do mine

Together we can make our dreams temperate in time
