DREAMS...

Another empty can, falls to my feet,
as i look down and watch as my wrists bleed.

another puff of smoke, clouds around,
as ashes fall, and blend with the ground.

a smile spreads and i feel my lungs shake,
i cough and giggle, im half awake.

I look at your picture, and the guilt settles in,
I feel hurt, as i stare at your fuzzy, blurry, crooked grin.

I twitch with pain, as i remember before,
I trip over my feet, as i run out the door.

I fall to my knees, and rest my head in my lap,
You walk over to me, and i cry and laugh.

I want to be with you, but look at the mess you\\\'ve made,
I want to hug you, but slowly, away you fade.

I open my eyes it was just a dream,
you\\\'d never come back and see me, its part of your scheme.

I look at my face, in the mirror, to make sure it\\\'s real,
As i glance over my shoulder, and there you are, to see the pain i feel.

You\\\'re really here, you\\\'re here with me,
It\\\'s not a dream but seems as it must be.

I\\\'m not surrounded by smoke, there are no cans to be seen,
Reality, and dreams, i\\\'m somewhere in between.
