Like a dream
It truly was like a dream.
As the world around me seemed to mix and dim
I was swooped away by a sorrowful stream.
Too painful and thick for me to sink or swim
I got stuck somewhere in between.
A place where there is no happiness but also no pain
Hidden under the liquid, like a submarine.
Cut into my chest and find on my heart the carving of a name
Take it with you and bury it deep.
So that her name by me may be forgotten
Before I fell, first I took a massive leap.
And now my heart has become so rotten
Her ghost seems to haunt me every night.
As my days drift by
I wait for someone that can resore my light.
Or until the day I die
