A Lasting Smile

I crawled away till it was miles...
                                     Still I dreamed I saw your smile...
                                       In a world that's built on stilts...
                                  The balance of love should never wilt...
                                      An escape that eludes my mind...
                             Through the darkness the time is not so kind...
                                 So I sat on a decision and teared awhile...
                               And in my dream I thought I saw your smile...
                              I reached for a word that describes a thought...
                               But silence still folds around me as I fought...
                                With a deep breath I screamed until I wept...
                              And in the corner all the goodbyes were swept...
                                 I now stand away and live in a different style...
                                       But still I dreamed I saw your smile...
