My Imperishable Dream
A poem about fragile undying dreams

I ditched my imperishable dream
to bleed alone in a gutter
I left it barely breathing
with hardly a heartbeat felt
I watched as the Moon
was reflected off its blood
its silver light was so cold
it gutted me to my core
my imperishable dream
looked at me with disappointment
drawn all over its face
an unblinking, haunting gaze
stabbing, slaying my very soul
a You screwed up again fool look
I cannot endure its gaze
and yet I see it everywhere
even with my eyes wide shut
my dream is bleeding but it's safe
it is imperishable after all
it cannot die, quite unlike me
my dream will perish
only when I will
but each time I ditch it
each time I betray it
each time I run from it
