Somewhere in between my scattered bed and fuzzy hair Around the first lazy hour past midnight, I dreamt again You were there with your ***** snapped teeth and razing eyes You wanted to talk or you came back with your spirited voice to fight Something is different about you now, the cuts on your thighs are deep Covered with bandages of death I came to tell you about my new found addiction to smoking Fidgeted with a half-empty glass tightly clasped within your grip. You were my home, and I was your tormentor I didn't know the heaven I had, now hell stings with the flashes of you I couldn't fit in either I am dying You turned to leave He changed from this happy soul to the grimace of a devil I would know that this particular night was one where you so desperately needed to feel home. Yet I could only observe you before returning to pick up the garbages left of you Tomorrow I will visit not to torment you, rather to be your peace.
If coming back to what's left behind determines the goodness of living, look beyond the odds and keep it.
