A Good Dream

I close my eyes with a smile on my face

Looking back to those better days

Where I lost myself and you found me

Always placing me higher than I thought I could be

To those days that were the best in my life

Hugging me tight when I was ready to die

Blaming myself for everything wrong

Accepting everything and moving on

To a life where hatred and sadness are gone

Welcoming me home with the tightest embrace

Using your delicate hands to cup my face

Trusting and loving me with my shattered past

Helping me see everything right at last

Holding and staring and laughing and sharing and talking and trusting and loving and so much

Joy

I know you’re at home waiting for me.

Please keep waiting. I just need to keep

Breathing.

In and out and in and out and I’m bleeding out and that man’s getting away and the police isn’t here where the hell are they and he’s stolen it away my happiness and our life and it’s getting harder to breathe and praying to God I need to go home and I need to see you please keep waiting for me...

I close my eyes with a smile on my face

Looking back to those better days

To the sky and its blinding rays

I’m afraid, my love, my best friend, there’s no other way.

I’m sorry I won’t come home today.
