A Lovely Little Daydream
Reality has escaped me as I sit in this dark room
The space that you used to occupy so fully.
Cold, sterile walls stare back at me
Ticking clocks go unnoticed as my mind is swept
Away, like your short-lived life.
Eyes closed
I hear the sweet lilt of your voice
See your angelic curls,
Curiosity in your light blue eyes,
Scuffed knees, busy hands.
Lights flicker
and there you are
All dressed up in your tux and ready for prom
Cane in hand and ready to dance.
Pipe organ chimes
There you are with your family
1 boy, 1 girl
One on the way.
Smiling, laughing
Full of life.
A lovely little daydream
of things
Not
Meant
To
Be.
