you know, i keep having this dream. in it, you are smoking your last cigarette. in silence, you watch the crumbling of ash. all the time, i had my eyes on you. so fragile and thin. like second-hand smoke, i breathe you in. you know, i keep having this dream. in it, darkness enshroud and we share a kiss. not then, but i realise it now; the smouldering smell of wildfire burning, my breath when our lips touch. like a phoenix rising from the ashes, subterranean love on fire. you know, i keep having this dream. in it, you stand quietly in front of a drawer full of clogged words. lifting your hands as if in prayer, you spit out heartfelt words that never stood the test of time. i hold your hand and you whisper in my ear: it was only a dream. just like you.

i keep having this dream
you know, i keep having this dream. in it, you are smoking your last cigarette. in silence, you watch the crumbling of ash. all the time, i had my eyes on you. so fragile and thin. like second-hand smoke, i breathe you in. you know, i keep having this dream. in it, darkness enshroud and we share a kiss. not then, but i realise it now; the smouldering smell of wildfire burning, my breath when our lips touch. like a phoenix rising from the ashes, subterranean love on fire. you know, i keep having this dream. in it, you stand quietly in front of a drawer full of clogged words. lifting your hands as if in prayer, you spit out heartfelt words that never stood the test of time. i hold your hand and you whisper in my ear: it was only a dream. just like you.
