Dream State

and then the pin dropped
swayed and rolled out of sight
to where, one can only guess
if one was so inclined
or even cared to bother,
penetrating beneath the veneer
of your suffocating smile
on those days you chose to try
even a little bit.
those days came around less and lesser?
there were times in our lives when the sun bowed down
and breathed a kiss of such incredible loveliness
I was certain we were deep inside a dream,
love was our world
and we had everything.
or so I believed
I so desperately believed
I wanted to believe,
before I
opened
these sleepy eyes...
