Years From Now

ice cream dreams
melt away in the heat of your eyes
my body turns to insect wings 
as I choke on hello
I dance in the circles of your love
never knowing where I'll land
black lines of pain fill my vision
and I watch you walk away
soon your face will be a faded picture 
in my memory
someday I will sit
alone and sad
trying to remember how I got here
and I'll never know where you went
but I will remember your lips on mine
and know that you were real
