If all that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream
Why is this life so cold?
In a dream I cannot feel pain
Yet I can feel the poison drip from thy lips
As you beg for a final kiss
Frozen hearts are left to die
The world is blind, truth is what we create
Yet in a dream, we need not create lies
To hide our pain, our only true face
We yearn for what we cannot have
The dying long for life
The living yearn for love
Blinded by false hopes of what is to come
The world is but an endless chain of unsatisfaction
Abounding love is reserved for the rich in spirit
The lowly get whatever is thrown away
Yet if all that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream
When will we awake to find;
The truth is right behind our eyes?
When will the pain subside?
When will we open up to see;
That life is not a dream?
All of our tears and pain
Is a second chance we threw away
For one day we will wake and realize
That it was all in vain

| I like this a lot, but I think of it more as a continuation of Poe's work rather than a contradiction, more because I'm not sure if he is taking a stance is his poem than working through the question in his mind. You give a deep and beautiful answer. well done. |
