Meet me at midnight
At the space in between
Wide awake
And half asleep
When the stardust that creates us
Comes alive
The world is deep in peaceful silence
But I sit here smoking cigarettes
And abstract eyes
Get heavy
A mosaic of gold and green-
Swimming in emptiness
Blurring the darkness with tears
Entangled in surviving the moment.
Fading back to the stars
Hoping I'll find you there
Drowning in thoughts,
Love,
And the sea.
I spend those hours in between-
Trapped in the strange galaxy made of tsunamis and secrets
With my backpack full of moonlight.
The sand whispers warnings
The danger feels dense and murky
With no place to elude the terrors that shadow me
So I close my eyes and cover my head
Trembling within the light of the stars
Waiting for the darkness to pass
Waking up
Still
So tired,
At war with my racing heart
That this is all
Once again
Just a dream.
