Reverie

Just something I don’t want to do no more, reverie.
Day by day I fight the urge, to give in to my desires
Every minute my mind escapes reality, forgetting how much it bites.
When I finally get the bite, all I do is pretend I don’t care. Vanity.
This constant dreaming is an endless job of building castles in the air
Just when I pull the plug on all the emotions and let them sleep forever,
The weather changes, the sunsets before night time and the clouds gather,
Five thousand miles away I hear the sound of thunder,
It’s coming again, the rain flooding all my surroundings
The in rush of memories overwhelm me, what was dead now lives,
The sleeping dogs are no more lying instead barking all night.

                                     
 Finally the urge conquers me, 
Then I cannot hold it no more.
Through the final hour of the rain I make it.
It is the hour after that when the wind broke in
The fear of knowing it was all over brought more pain ,
Remember the walk we took on a park on that windy day
When we felt every moment pacing through our hearts.
That was when it was September and now it is May,
You are not only hours away, also a phone call away.
Agony has became my middle name.
 I still cry endless tears.

There I sit by my window wondering all sorts of things
What might be, what could’ve been or what must be.
Through the wind, I remain holding my phone tightly
My mind races with thoughts of shame,
If I dial your numbers and be rejected,
I will only have no one but me to blame.

So I close my eyes wishing for the lightning again
How I’d draw my curtains open, watching the thunder storm
While I let the lightning strike through my windows to my room
While I sit there, trying to feel something other than pain
The ending is the same either way,
I make the call anyway,
And as usual there’s no answer
How can there be?
They never made telephone lines for the dead.
