In Your Dreams
R Bennett Okerstrom

I come to you in your dreams
As you wake up to your own screams
I am eternal.

I come to you in your dreams
As you wonder why you often bleed
I am immortal.

I come to you in your dreams
As you ponder as to what you've seen
I am desire.

I come to you in your dreams
As you justify what cannot be
I am malefic.

I come to you in your dreams
As temporary as I may seem
I am forever.
