Maybe

Stars jaded with delight because the sky was torn in two My angel loses flight With crumpled paper wings Ashes to ashes Dust to surrender while the clouds hold no regard A love story of sorts Leaving a bitter taste of loss crawling under your skin Mumbled speech with even harsher tones She was ignoring me, But i didn't seem to care A refreshing smile wandered on her face As she wrapped her arms around another man But jealousy seemed to have no hold on me Squandering at the thought and an undeniable love But no connection, a desire, a viable drug She told him to leave, her heart on her sleeve Emotions run dry when it's just you and i She said I walk on, and never look back But my perception is clear and full of indelible fears She holds another man's hand, lack of a whispering tear Speech so beautiful..trite but sweet, like a kiss in the ear But this didn't phase me And again she says Just leave, you're not good enough for me I like you, but whats the point? I admit, i smiled that she left him behind A love to define and a truth to defy What now? I ask myself I walk on and never look back I'm alone Souls with destinations proposed walk past with mingling ideas presented by the touch of a rose I feel her presence .. Her shadow bothers me She's following me, but do i want to look? She grabs my arm and turns me around A smile so beautiful, bright as day Yet monotone, shrouded in grey She puts her arms around me And looks me straight in the eye She struggles to speak as she begins to cry "I Love You" she says, the words ringing in my head We stand there, like time stood still If i let Her go would it be for forever? I Love You and only You and though it doesnt seem like it We'll make this right. I promise... "I.. Love You Too," I struggled to say "forever.." I mumbled and prayed Here, In Your Arms, where I'm supposed to be A feeling so complete, when she was close to me "Never say Never, don't deny me this love..." I open my eyes. Is she here? Consciousness returns. I wake up alone, in the morning My phone is ringing and the klaxon's singing A feeling of anger sweeps me off my feet A hatred so deep, discontent so obvious I try and believe that it was all real But it wasn't . I drive my fist into my pillow, and lie dormant Screaming quietly towards the sunshine Why? Damn it, Why? I tried to go back, but reality set in Loss is collateral while the only fatality is sin Why did i have to wake up? She said she loved me. She said she loved me. In my dream...
