Where Love Lasts Longer
"Where Love Lasts Longer"
My world is blue
and green
I sleep within the
blue
I see through the
green
the dreams
that follow me
overtake the
black and white
bleeding into
whitewashed gray
within the inner
portrait of me
the ruins
they spray painted
covered in graffitti
the core
like a diamond
remains
from what
they framed
the day of great
betrayal
hung on a wall
like flowers
to dry with
the life sucked
out of me, flattened
like a bad memory
pressed between
indolent pages
the dreams
that follow me
overtake the
black and white
bleeding into
whitewashed gray
within the inner
portrait of me
the core
like a diamond
unbreakable
remains
My world is blue
and green
I sleep within the
blue
I see through the
green
eventually
I awake from the dream
into another dream
where sentences are shorter
and love lasts longer
and the unwanted
memories fade
