'my Nightmare'
I walked around for hours
hoping it was a dream
that my life will go back to normal
as soon as I open my eyes
I could feel them looking at me
with pity on their faces
damn don't they know I don't need it
it is just a dream
can't they see the smog?
Vision so hazy it can only be a dream
the maze just has no ending
I need to get away
away from all the shadows
away from yesterday
what is that thing about
if you wish hard enough
it will come true
I wonder if I wish to start things over
will she still be next to me?
I still see her face
all cut up
guess it's not a dream
I can see it all so clear
damn I wish I took her with the car
that day
instead of her going by train
please God, please
can we go back?
can we go back to yesterday?
When her laughter made me laugh
when her touch made me feel all warm inside
with just a simple touch I knew that I was home
damn I wish this was a dream
that she could walk through our front door..
Our house no longer a home
just an empty space
her footsteps has gone quiet
they say it will get easier
when, please tell me when?
this aching need to have her close by -
will be a distant dream
I’m tired,
so very tired
of putting up a brave face
when I know she's watching me
just crumbling away
damn I wish this was a dream
and she would wake me up
with the words -
"Honey,
I brought you, your morning cuppa"
