Break out the champagne, 

It's the kind we drank last year. 

On the shores of your acquired house, 

With twilight drifting near. 



Can you recall the happiness 

Or get back the years? 

Nights around the kitchen table 

Saturdays in cars with myths and aspirations 

Mouthing many secrets with useless connotations. 



I had a dream last night 

Of the day your brother died 

He was cold, alone inside his car choking carbon monoxide 

Does he come to you when you sleep? 

Do you shake instead of dream? 

Whisper that you forgive him.
