A loved one is lost in a dream and in life. |
Our mouths are quiet. Lips drawn into lines Eyelids grow heavy, The loosing of binds. Our bodies are still, Once beacons of night. Now we are fading, Dimming like the stars Near the break of light. Darkness has taken Its grasp over us, Lending its dimness, Pale moonlight, and dust. Quickly descending, We pick ourselves up, Gather our senses, And brush off the rust. Something is not right, Man the defenses. Deep from the shadows An image contorts, Moaning like metal, Bending in odd sorts. A feral smile Stretched across its face, The figure wavers A moment in place. An arm reaches out. It lashes for me. But you step in front, Not thinking to flee. Bullet sounds rebound Off brick and off stone. Red blooms from your chest we are left alone, you're laying on stone. I beg you “Hold on”, But you are slipping, Fading like the stars. I lay next to you Staring at the sky. Somewhere a siren’s Cry echoes my heart. Hands pressed palm to palm, Tears mix with the rain. Just push past the pain. Our mouths are quiet. Lips drawn into lines Eyelids grow heavy, The loosing of binds. Our bodies are still, Once beacons of night. Now we are fading, Dimming like the stars Near the break of light. I wake up to find I’m laying in bed, Curled up on the spot Where you once rest your head. |
