The Penance of Dreaming

Roses turn to carpet

Snow fills them like dunes,

I'm standing in the driveway 

Haunted by the view.

Dazed in recollection

As solar suns still shine,

The message that I keep

Is the voice you left behind.

Wooden walls shall creak

The past flows out as wine,

I'm going for the paper

With you upon my mind.

Crickets click to sing

That home is hid by dark

Phantom wails in silence,

For your face will never part.

Water reaches surface

Sprinkled across the lawn,

Footsteps stand in echo

Of you still moving on.

My screams have grown much dimmer,

Captured by the time,

For when you are far away

I slowly die inside.

Part of me is broken 

You'll never be erased

Each footstep that I bare

Places sadness upon my face

Each breath ment to live,

My hands to only give,

In sickness and in health

A gaze to which begins.

You may not apprehend,

Nor feel the void of mine.

For every day I see sunrise

I dream you standing by.

The skies will blacken out

Controlling all the suns

Countless hours 

Losing sleep,

Dreaming us as one.

The sun will slowly rise,

Return! I must confess

Let me place my head on you

So I can surely rest.
