you hide behind the fluorescent rays very enigmatic slipping between the beams flitting in and out of focus my dream scape seems fuller since your arrival and yet only there do you feel truly real i start walking, just to clear pathways in my mind my feet go faster and faster running as far as i can but.... am i running to you or away are you real are you a figment am i your figment or just a throwaway in the haze of your not vision I try to turn the pages of your book but it seems like you only peek out from between the words And as soon as I notice you noticing me, the words close in upon themselves I hear you shout for someone to shelter you Or is it just imagined echoes of hopeful conversations Is that your voice singing love songs Is it just whispers floating on the breeze The mirror mocks my loneliness The red boils over Your reflection laughs at me from the shards left on the floor Fiery droplets mar my perception of your cheeks Splashing on the floor they tell me secrets I take hold of the largest of the shards I hear the voice and it enlightens me I know what must be done to free myself I know how to erase you from my heart I squeeze the glass tighter I only hope to find the courage |
