Pride, my foolish pride

So pride, my foolish pride, you still keep me awake--
My trusty and most unwanted friend.
I toss and turn and hal awake
In wakeful sleep
I see my dream before me
The one I love who I pushed away
Not once but twice and many times before
Why pride now you haunt me, why bring him before me,
Mocking my dreams with his countenance?
Why, why hurt my dreams, oh foolish pride?
It hurts to dream these days
I don't want dreams nor stay awake

I lost myself in my words— The ones casting my road; I’m too lost in the dreams That weave a labyrinth before me.
