The Day I Wake Up Home

By Phalanx

Listen like I ruined you, personally.
Tonic water settles the stomach like puke is the next natural step.
Beyond vagabonds and challenge, the crazed wanderer
Calling you out in a half stretched dance.
Love will break the glass.
Tentative and attentive, waiting for the wish I never cast into the well...
I was afraid I would lose it.
I want to fall like petals all the flowers dropped before they died.
Let's gather them up and scatter us into sky.
Every wish smells so pretty.
Halloween is on every doorstep
Where we say trick or treat
With hope in our eyes.
The place where we never died.
The shape heaven takes, terrestrial.
The name that fractures matter.
She left a hair in my bed and I woke up believing in the impossible.
I still don't know if they changed the sheets but,
I like believing they didn't.
She was so vivid.
We both knew we could go on existing.
I spend every morning waiting for the day I get back to you.
