See You in Dreams

By the slant of the flower
By the words on paper
By the tokens and charms
Photomicrographs of happiness
I hide behind my eyes
Went to the places you lived
Went to the places you died
Tracing the fuse
Long story of a short life
With windows broken through
When I see you in dreams
When I see you in dreams
The end is broken open through
By the secrets stolen
By the force of longing
By adhesive regret
You fix your dreams to look like anyone’s
But no one’s noticed yet
Can’t tell the difference when you’re in the middle
Half a life through
The fuse gets shorter as the picture takes
A little more of you
When I see you in dreams
When I see you in dreams
The end is broken open through
When I see you in dreams
When I see you in dreams
The end is broken open through
When I see you in dreams
When I see you in dreams
The end is broken open through
When I see you in dreams
When I see you in dreams
The end is broken open through
