I open my eyes, in bed with my wife

The sun shining bright

I get out of bed, thankful for life

Ready to start the day right

I open my eyes, sad and alone

Haunted by dreams pre-divorce

With heavy heart, I rise with a groan

My life filled with remorse

I open my eyes, running late for school

Confused by my strange dream.

Is some trickster playing me like a fool?

Are things actually like they seem?

I open my eyes, in bed with my wife

Filled with confusion and surprise

I wonder which of these ‘dreams’ is my real life.

And do I dare open my eyes?
