green intense
light of love
heart love
pulsating
tears rolling down
the pale blue window
inside my mind’s eye
the right side, a film playing
over
and over again
heart pain silent relentless
take it away I beg
make it go away
intense lights bright
smiles and miles of warmth
take me, please
take me there
take me into his arms
let me touch his hair
let my lips brush his cheek
let me smile with him
let me feel his love
straw fields break through
electric blue sky
closer, closer I beg
I can feel I’m almost there
swirling turquoise water, is that ocean?
is this what your home is like?
will you take me there
are those people I see
wait, talk to me, don’t leave yet
I’m almost there
Mom, can you bring me over
yes, I can feel your smile
don’t you love him too?
I know my dream is over
the sun is heating up my room
my left side wants to fly
my right, dead weight here
I walked with a child
he was sad and sullen
I took his hand
and told him to dance with me
he smiled and twirled
and then he was no longer there
on an edge of a bathtub
you sat with me
a stranger holding a gun
told us to get inside
our time was up
it was time to die
I felt no fear
I was ready to go
I would follow you anywhere
