Dream #43


(poems go here) The moon seems so far away tonight I apologize for things I think I said I know those words weren’t right Some thoughts just won’t leave my head The night air is so very cold I took the chance on patience But patience makes a young man old And I can’t live that long with an absence Of love in my life, love without strife Smiling without tears, beauty for years The street lights are growing dimmer The wind is speaking in rhyme “In this game of lonely losers Heartache can last a lifetime.” I find myself staring at my favorite photo If only you were next to me tonight I could dream away on my favorite pillow And for just one night, everything could be alright With the love in my life, love without strife Smiling without tears, beauty for years I’m finally at my front door, if only I could find my keys I can hear my friend calling me again, they need my help I what I can for everyone, eager to please Sometimes I feel like an insignificant whelp My bed seems like such a welcome relief In my dreams I don’t have to hurt And there is pure joy, no matter how brief Now what was that girls name, the one in the hoopskirt She seemed sad to be looking so beautiful My memory is always so dismal
