THIS IS MY LOT, BEAUTIFUL STRANGERS.

Plaited Inside Out

My afternoon slumber had a little more to offer.
Who are you, unforgettable stranger?
That I could awake with a smile
I thought I had forgotten.
It wasn't the tingles, no, not the tingles,
But it felt perfect in all its imperfection
So nothing else came close.
And I want you to know, you had me set free,
From the manacles I formed
And now I lie here, figuring out your incomplete shadow
From the meagre remnant
Of my incompetent memory.
You had me plaited inside out.
"I want to be happy but I forgot how to"
This afternoon, I anticipate my leave
But I know it was that slumber
I flew away.

Don't read too much into it, sometimes our dreams bring us for a whirl-wind ride which all comes down crashing to nothing the second we awake to reality. Well, that afternoon's dream was one such.
