REOCCURRING DREAM

slept within a dream,
Being woken by a scream.
I dreamt my head fell off.

When I woke,
Tell you what I saw.
There it was laying,
On the floor.

Got out of bed,
Incased I snored.
Decided to shut it,
In a drawer.

Then I woke up,
Jumped out of bed.
To open the draw,
To find my head.
Was there no more.

Looked into the mirror,
This is what I saw.
There was my head,
Sitting on my legs.

I screamed within the dream,
Because of what I saw.
My head screaming back,
While laying on the floor.

Waking up where my day begun,
Heard the doctor say.
"He could be in this coma,
For years or days".

That's when I woke,
Feeling refreshed.
As never before,
Glancing down.
As I started to rise,
From my hospital bed.
That's where I found,
My glasses on the floor.
Trouble is they were,
Sitting on my head.
