I had a dream of you last night, I’ve been doing that. I woke up wet Drenched in sweat; 4:56 At the sound of someone saying you were here. And I don’t know why it happened But I rumbled out of bed Babe, I padded down the hall Hair in my face; I couldn’t see **** The night with its mouth shut, I paced like Someone was listening thinking you’d just be in my living room As your warmth never left my chair But your prints long left my window So I stumbled back to home And back in bed, the sheets were metal I couldn’t follow anyone Morning leaked in; light burned where you weren’t The TV taunted me with choices; Illusory and fascinating With the muffled, muted sound of some Televangelist rat who preached Of God’s prosperity Sold between commercials for casinos As life went on outside my window What you said becoming all I think of Love gives you hope and then revokes it
