Fever Dreams

As I look at the distant moon;
In the middle of June;
I realize I have dreamt things;
That won't ever come true.
Those dreams include;
Getting far in life;
And waking up by your side.
Going to the Arcade;
Or to the cat cafe.
I keep getting hurt;
It all turns into a blur.
It all keeps getting shattered;
But I tell myself it doesn't matter.
I have a permanent flue;
Where I have no clue;
About the difference between fantasy;
And the distant reality.
They're all just fever dreams;
Where nothing is as it seems.
It's a fever dream that won't go away.
Why do you give me hope;
And then take it all away?
