I dreamt

I dreamt of what it’s like
To be dead
Lingering
On the steps

Watching them cry
Slowly regretting
What I had chosen
To carry on by

Why did I do that?
Why did I? Why?
For someone who’s breathing
Who’s carrying on by

Slowly departing to
Somewhere unknown
I felt uneasy
All was then wrong

No more tomorrow
To save me from all
As the sleep I was sleeping
Was eternal and cold

With no one to save me
And no one to love
I said goodbye
To move on above

With my hands guilty
With my eyes sore
I cried to the skies
To go back once more

But when you have gone
It is all in vain
For no one can hear you
You’re lonely again

As time brushes past
The soul softens more
It slowly decays
Into more growing pains

Your spirit’s forgotten
As the world moves on
And all that’s achieved
Is remorse and appal

But I open my eyes
To the sunrise again
The dream I had dreamt
Made me live again.
