the storms came
briefly
i listened as
the rain fell
losing myself
between the drops
as i lay in bed
letting my heart
send messages
in echoed crashing
across the clouds
to where you slept

the alarm rang
i watched you dissolve
a sandstorm illusion
in heartache intrusion
whispering prayers
to the emptiness
proving god is
just the last remnants
where dream smashes
into lifelong regret

she was never
a dream come true
for there has never
been such a depth
in scattered delusion
i was just the fool
sleepwalking alone
down a one way street
where her disinterest
formed a labyrinth
in dead end corridors
leading her ever further
from my pleading soul
