Last night I dreamed of you again, but this time, the context was unclear.
Was it a foreshadowing of my future? Or just a tunnel with light at the end?
Were we born with the curse of desire, or is it just in our bones when we're dead?
Will the fractures in our minds heal quickly, are we simply too broken to mend?
There was pain in your voice, you were hiding your eyes.
For a lingering moment I felt so alive.
My mind was like quicksand, absorbing the time.
Leaving space for our trembling hearts to divide
Tonight I'll dream of you again, but this time I'll read between the lines.
This time I'll have to be more careful to avoid the very traps that I designed.
(Brendan Murphy)
You are the cold that collects in the night air.
You are the moment before my first breath.
You are the sun and the shadows beneath it.
My brightest light and my darkest contempt.
Who'd have known that the burden you buried was the same one I'd held in my chest?
Would you guess that the flame you ignited would burn you till nothing was left?
