I Dream Of

Didn't think I would dream about you still After the power went out After your mail stopped coming to my house Still, I dream of you And I dream of the peeling kitchen walls too And the seams of the drawers that came unglued And all the things that we never had a chance to do I dream of And I dream of the hours I'll never get back Trying to discern fiction from fact Trying to seduce you and wildly succeeding I dream of And I dream of the memory of you leaving And the web of lies you were weaving And the failure by design Of the image of you I had in my mind And the pedestal I put you on And all the things that I would have done To keep you
