~Blink~

you were
supposed to
dream in color
but you
dream
in waves
don't put
the blame
on me

it's just
another melancholy
night still
there is a beauty
in the breaking

a mosaic
of water parting
like trembling whispers
delicate sugar
trapped like
angels and edges
you slipped away
something lost
but gained

from ups
and downs
I'm all around
it rained
if only
I knew
the right
words
I would know
your heart

living with illusions
 got me down
I reach for you
but can
only fall
away now

I miss
sweetness
face something
that I've
always known
a glitter bomb
inside

but there
is always tomorrow
a blink
of an eye
a whisper
of smoke
sometimes
even dreamers
wake up
