LONER
I dreamt of numbers
Dined at the table of my living room
They spoke in whispers
That i couldn't quite comprehend
They exposed their fading smiles
In the dim light of my vanilla scent candles
They were hollow and unseen
On a Wednesday morning
And would join me in the basement
For a sob into the dark night
My fortress was acomfort
A rehad I'd come to call my own
A stagger in a yacht upon the docks of the Mediterranean Sea
I was a defiance of lifes's true mediocrity
And it became no better at dawn break
For I sneaked into my attic
That screamed for my thoughts to stop
And after groping for a flashlight and dead battery cells
I would lie on the stardust
Collected from the previous night
Hoping that the debris from the stars
Still retained their wishes
Enough to fix my breaking heart
Like a potter working on a porcelain
