I had the strangest dream, you were lost at sea

I found you drowning on the ocean floor

I woke from my deep sleep, to end the misery

And found you lying outside of my door

I tried to wake you up, to shake you up but found out you were dead

Like a lead in the wind, you left me standing alone to face the demons in my head

We're making fiction of our lives

Burning pages as we write

We read the lies between the lines

These dead letters won't survive

A dusty record spins, an old song plays again

The needle dragging across its skin

Ink spills from my pen, the paper soaks it in

The music bringing tremors to my hand

I can't give you up, just lift you up to chance on a dragonfly's wing

With my love in the wind, you left me standing alone hoping it brings you back to me

We are not poets, we have no right to make amendments

The story is over, the chapter is closing

I don't know how it ends but I really don't like how it begins
