One Of My Own (A Song) Poem by Jade Leven

Late last night I dreamed of you
unlike most, this one was so real
I ran my fingers across your skin
I had forgotten the way that feels

there is nothing like falling into you
seeing you look at me and smile
I can't believe you seemed to still love me
when you haven't been around for a while

in reality, you are
one of my own
so cold a spirit, so sad a song
like me, you feel
you are all alone
and like me, you feel it's where you belong

I'm sorry your life isn't as good as others
it's something that you don't deserve at all
I'm sorry for all the horrible things I've said
in the end they were my downfall

in reality, you are
one of my own
you are confused, and you are lost
if you ever are not
completely alone
like me, you know there will be a cost

nothing can make you understand
the amount of regret I feel each day
unless I ran to you and held you close
you will never know how much I needed you to stay

in reality, you are
one of my own
a nightmare found inside a lullaby
and we will hover over
things that we have lost
and contemplate the reasons why

and we will refuse to forget
the reasons why.
