with quiet hesitance,
but I know in life you're gone,
having left me with no response.

Dream you speak to me
in crowded places, night after night.
I wake to crashed hope,
to dried tears in eyes not quite bright.

Memories once warm and laughing
now doused in bitter rain.
Lost and alone I stagger through
the jostling bodies in pain.

Dream you speak to me,
but wake to eyes flitting away,
to empty seats and cold stares,
to broken promises to stay.

Present flew away on the raven's wing
and the unicorns' light can't shine;
since that day we ended
I've only had myself to redefine.

Come back to me,
in more than just my dreams.
Come back to me,
or leave me mired forever in these dreams.

Empty Dreams

You're inhabiting my dreams
with quiet hesitance,
but I know in life you're gone,
having left me with no response.

Dream you speak to me
in crowded places, night after night.
I wake to crashed hope,
to dried tears in eyes not quite bright.

Memories once warm and laughing
now doused in bitter rain.
Lost and alone I stagger through
the jostling bodies in pain.

Dream you speak to me,
but wake to eyes flitting away,
to empty seats and cold stares,
to broken promises to stay.

Present flew away on the raven's wing
and the unicorns' light can't shine;
since that day we ended
I've only had myself to redefine.

Come back to me,
in more than just my dreams.
Come back to me,
or leave me mired forever in these dreams.
