The Phantom

I had a dream about me, I dreamt I was in a world where I was alone.

I breathed the air around me and searched for life, I saw you nearby.

I talked to you but you didn't seem to hear me, I touched you and you did not seem to notice.

I began to wonder if I was just a phantom, if I really exsisted at all in your world.

I believed that if you would just reach out and touch me, I would know for sure I was really there.

I hoped someone would touch me, just to prove to me that I wasn't a phantom after all.

But you wouldn't reach out to me, so I tried to wake up.

But I could not, for this was reality. And you did not see me, I was invisable to you.

I had no place in your world.
