don't wake me up (from a dream called home)

tonight i'll dream
about a weeping willow girl
and wake up alone
with a tainted shadow
and an accusing sun
poking my eye

and maybe i'll dream about
a warm and pale yellow room
so far away
then crack my skull
against a concrete sky
while i wait
for God to call

i just might dream
about a soft painted world
where everyone loves me
and i know how to love back
then drag my eyes open
to a jagged world
that scrapes my teeth
when i smile

but i don't believe in
magic
miracles
love
so how can i believe
there's a weeping willow girl
called fortune
and a home
called dreams?

Good poem, but you don't fool me. How can a poet NOT believe? The simple act of poetry is beleif. And I know you can write a love song. I know the role of a cynic fits your neighborhood, but I don't think you're going to pull it off...
