Dreaming a Dream

late at night I woke up from a dream.
Of a girl I have never met.
It seemed real when she screamed
And her body detailed with sweat.

She was lying on the floor
One leg chained to a post.
She was crawling for the door
But her strength seemed lost.

Didn't know what to think.
This weird eerie dream of mine.
I stand up, went to the sink
Drunk some water to feel fine.

As soon as I laid down to bed,
I fell into a subconscious depth.
From a trance of the mind's rest,
Again to the same dream, I went.

Inside a dark empty room.
I saw her crying again.
Felt sad for all the gloom,
of the girl's agony and pain.

Slowly, I approached the poor girl
to release her from her chains
But every step I take she trembles.
Scared, agitated and in shame.

When I finally got near her.
She curled her body tightly
then wept clutching her hair.
She begged for mercy...(such pity)

As I unchain her captive legs.
She gave a sigh of relief.
A smile glowed from her sightless face
and embraced me in my disbelief.

We locked in a kiss that she led.
And I saw her teary face.
It was then I started to beg.
Not to wake up from this place.

For the girl I saw was HER! ! !
The star I've been wanting to meet.
A heroine of a movie theater
And a model of glamor and fame.

I opened my eyes 'cuz I realized
That I'm just dreaming a dream.
Closed it again and I visualized
the dream of my daydreams...
