images in sleep

i fell asleep today
your picture in my hand
wishing to be in your heart
but ive been banned.

i dreemed of the image
taking a physical form
like we used to be
embracing 'till morn.

so let us flash back
to times gone past
take the photos
make them last
lets play games
under the darkroom table
capture the moment
create a fable

then the phone rang
and i awakoe
in my delerium
i thoguht you spoke

but it wasnt for me
you were paper in my fingertips
the smiles sodden with tearstains
poison laughter on the lips

so let me flash back
to minuits before
holding my photo
from months ago
lets swallow the pills
under the sheets
embracing the dream
forever asleep
