the world felt like a bad dream
that would never end.
the sky, a violet so dark
it looked as black as a raven's feathers.
when the air smelled of
smoke, cinnamon & wormy, damp earth.
i went to the store & bought
a cologne that smells just like you.
you pulled me closer when
i thought you were about to let go.
i normally close my eyes,
but with you i have to keep a look-out.
i promise
to keep you safe, i promise...
the feeling of wanting to go home,
bur you're already there.
my stomach turns like the sea,
churning it's foam & shells to the shore.
in the end, the world will always be
a bad dream we can't wake up from...
a bad dream where
we cannot be together.
