it was like a dream

peculiar in its familiarity

it was as if something

was trying to tell her

she’d been here before

it was like a dream

familiar in its peculiarity

as if all the outer worlds

were merging with hers

in perfect timing

it was comforting yet confusing

a strange but sensational feeling

remembering, returning

it was hysterical

and chaotic

and freeing

at the exact same time

it was like a dream

blurred lines and fuzzy edges

it felt as if duality shattered

when her emotions ricocheted

only moments before everything

returned to its rightful place

it was like a dream

it was like a dream

a beautifully painted realm

and she decided

she would never

wake up

-like a dream
