Wake up
Take a shower
Sit in the bottom of the tub
And cry for a hour.

Dry your hair
Dry your tears
No ones home
No one hears.

Put on a smile
Put on a dress
Put on so much makeup
No one will know you're a mess.

Wash the dishes
Fold the clothes
Keep it all inside
Make sure no one knows.

Sweep the hall
Vacuum the stairs
You've got it all together
Otherwise, no one cares

Beautiful disaster
That's what you say
Sometimes you'd like to
Just run away

Keep it up
This fictional facade
Go to the grocery store
Give your sweet, happy nods

Dinner is done
Everyone's content
Your board game day is
Almost at it's end

Crawl into bed
Close your eyes,
But don't sleep
Let tomorrow's grueling task
Keep you from counting sheep

Wake up.

As I lay here in the dark,
My head's in another place

It's wondering to a different time,
It's wondering to your face.

To the days filled with laughter,
To days filled with tears.
To the memories we made together,
In just a few short years.
Your skin agaisnt mine sent us to outer space,
No one on Earth existed inside our special place.
Two broken people mended, maybe temporarily,
This past life bliss I'd hope to forget now weighs on me so heavily.

Sometimes, I bask, in the thought of you and me,
I think about what could have been.
Was it meant to be?

I stroke his face,
I rest my head on his chest
What would he do if he knew what's in my head.
