Dreaming While You Sleep Poem by joseph vincent orlanda

Dreaming While You Sleep



In and out of darkness
In and out of sleep
Trying to keep my
hands upon the wheel
Never saw the corner
in the driving rain
I never saw her
step into the street

I can never understand
what went through my mind
I didn't stop to see
what I had done
I had to keep on
driving deep into
the night
The miles between would
somehow put it right

All my life you
lie silently there
In a world so unfair
And only I'll know why
And it will live
inside of me
I will never be free
all my life
Trapped in her memory
Till the day you
open your eyes

Heard it on the radio
saw it on TV
But could I take
my secret to the grave
If I had another chance
would I do the same
Would i still deny
that it was me?

I'll be haunted by
Just one moment in time
Until the day I die
I will never be free all my life

Dreaming while you sleep
Memories to keep

something rather similar to that happened to a relative of mine a few years ago - but the driver turned himself in. we would have forgiven him even if he hadn't.
