Lost in an instant

Twisted words neslted in my head,
diluted thoughts of a forgotten past.
Speaking silently to a voice I thought I knew,
When I awoke I realised I had never been asleep.

I told myself she had moved forward to me,
I told myself it was the music that brought her,
I told myself that I was the only one,
and I told myself that I was free.

Myself spoke back "You've crossed a line,"
"this is not real,"
"you were not there,"
"come out of yourself and back to your life."

The lights have blurred now as I look across,
My eyes are watery and my mouth is dry.
Speaking silently to a voice I thought I knew,
When I awoke I realised I had never been asleep.
