I search for you
in my dreams

I see the people,
The places,
and things
That surrounded us
But you are not there

It doesn’t stop me from
Running here and there
Looking frantically;
Hoping for a glimpse
Of you

I ask about you and they point to
An address that doesn’t exist
An empty hallway
An impenetrable crowd

Are they helping me
Or
Mocking me?

I press on

Because

Your perfume lingers,
so I know that you’re here
Somewhere
A recurring dream

Even when I thought I knew you
You were being fake
Just like everyone else in this world
You were putting on a face

The charade is over
And the mask comes off
Revealing a face so putrid
And covered in rot

The sky a little less blue
My frown a little more upside down
The rainbow missing a few colors
My heart adding a few beats
The little chirps ever so softer
Even the birds were sad
The day I got my heart broken
A moment of silence
A prayer goes out
I said one with my name
Because the only one I lost was myself
Chasing after butterflies
Colors that were blind to my eye
Just a little something different

The tree sees everything
Kiss my knees before you go
You should do that
Look for me in every petal or leaf
In every wing of every creature
In her eyes, every feature
The flowers
that  flickered in  the garden
Bright and as a sprite
it took me to the magical world
  
The bloom that made us happy
  Where all crying
they  sobbed and sobbed


the flowers
that bloomed in the garden
bright as a sprite
it took me to the magical world

The bloom that made us smile
where laughing out
they chuckled and chuckled


Every man who seem to be normal is not as what you think
they may be sobbing
or
they may be chuckling

You are no one to define what he is

The almighty can  
the one in the beyond
but you can't

I am tired.
Not the mind kind of tired,
The bone kind of tired.
Not the eye kind of tired,
The blood flowing in my body,
kind of tired.
The kind of tired that originates,
Not in the world,
But in me.
The kind of tired,
The world will never be able
To get rid of,
For me.
Forgive me,
I need to take a nap.
This kind of tired is making me
Tired.
I am not always like this.
But the world,
Right now?
Reminds me the tiredness that I am capable of.
hey man, you ok?
Yeah. Just need to take a nap. I just woke up
