Absentee Intruder

Hey
For the first time in weeks I had dreams
And it's more important than it seems
And that's something quite rare
Since you weren't there
And I could get on with it
Dreaming without you
Guiltless sleep
Free from you reminding me
In this dream I drove my car
Directionless and far
Happy and haphazard
Hovering and half-hopping wheels
A difficult journey without you
Without you
So I drove
I held the wheel
Without you there to steal
Reminding my heart to feel
Waking me to what's real
Taking me by my shoulders
Shaking me
Shouting at me to wake up
"You're alone"
"You're alone"
"You're alone"
So without your bugle to wake me
I slept
I woke rested
After four hours sleep
I cried
I felt like I betrayed you
Because I could sleep in peace
Leaving you behind in undreamt dreams
And it's more important than it seems
And that's something quite rare
Since you weren't there
I want to call you
I want to gloat
Ramble insanely into the plastic microphone
Tell a sleeping man a half-cocked story
At 5h30 in the morning
A story of how I beat dream-him
By neglecting to remember him
