drive to dream to live

[05 Sep 2006 | Tuesday]


last night i dreamed
i was sleeping.
wrapped up
in the crisp coolness
of fresh green sheets;
one leg escaping.
pink toes
reaching for the sunlight
that bounces off the ocean
and through the windowblinds
slicing the darkness
and bringing another day
without you.

today i drove
every road
we've ever travelled
wrapped up
in the lyrics
of all the songs
you used to sing.
with windows down
i drown
in the soundtrack of
another day
without you

now my dream has lost all colour
there is no black; only white.
nothing is right.

there is rain on the windows
that will not wipe away;
ive lost direction.

i taste the drops on my tongue
salty
like the ocean
and wake up
alone in my car
(without new sheets)
from the dream
that i was sleeping.
