Dimensions

A life plays out in my mind
But it is not mine.
I have caught glimpses of it
On those nights when happy 
Tastes sweet on my lips
And the arms that wrap around me
Infuse me with peacefulness
But then I return with a thud
To the flat-black paint 
Of my existence —
A multi-dimensional woman
In a one-dimensional world
