the silence imbued
with the sound of chirping crickets
a daybreak hue
paints a background behind your face
i touch your cheek
and the sky moans with weariness
springing a leak
the cold rain begins to fall down
destroying the dream
until the remains are just shards of glass
the skin begins to bleed
and the fantasy is chased away
tears drip slow
quietly mixing alongside the blood
and i've always known
that i could never be the same
