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.
