Chasing Grief

Bittersweet Dream

Bittersweet Dream

Aug 06, 2023

I dreamt of you again after a long, long while 
My love, where have you been all this time? 
In paradise, I thought, together, you and I would smile 
In life and death, you and I would be partners in crime?

I reach for you, though between us were the sea and sky 
Both stars and waves adorn your empty frame 
A beautiful picture you would make, I sigh 
But beside you is just an empty space, what a shame

Within my reach is nothing but air 
Soon, stars start falling like rain was there 
Inch by inch you stray away from me 
"Why do you leave?" to you I shriek

Gravity pulls you even further 
You float like a debris underwater 
Face blank like a man whose heart stopped beating 
And now awaits the reaper's coming

Stars fell even harder 
As I swam to you even closer 
But fire and rock hit me with great shock 
No, I mustn't surrender even to their mock

But I saw you only float away 
With no sign of life nor fighting charade 
What a scene is this display 
All falling stars to you they swayed

And then, I saw you cry 
A single tear from your twinkling eye 
My God, is this a beautiful disaster 
A sick, twisted trial I will never master

"My love," I ask, "are you hurt? 
Is there anything I can do for you? 
Is it lonely amidst the desert 
As if leaving someone you knew?"

Your eyes laid upon me 
My heart stopped longer than could be 
Oh, how long was it since I last saw your gaze 
My heart's in pain but you set it ablaze

White light and the rush of stars 
Blinded me and deafened my ears 
But your voice is burnt into my mind like scars 
"Please find me," I hear you say in tears

I haven't seen you in a while, my love. How have you been? Why are you leaving again? No. Please. No. Stay with me. Be with me. Even just for one moment more...

"Please find me" that was so beautiful and sad. Reminds me of what our hearts cry out but cannot always be heard
