I Saw You
I saw you in a dream I never had
sitting on a bench
in a depressing slouch
face strangeld with tears
I saw you in the days that are gone
swept away in the receding tide
during the duration of a colorless setting sun
a sad song sung that day
I saw you in the tears I've never shed
screaming to break free
desspretely seeking shelter from the storm
regret stabs at a broken heart
I saw you a thousand times today
though not figureaitve
a fatigued source of thought,
conspires against the truth
I saw you in the eyes of the others
heard your voice above theirs
as I wished that they were you,
my perfect painted picture was destroyed
