I rode my bicycle in to lower Manhattan
Seemingly looking for you
But you weren’t there
You were here

The place I know you swore you’d never be again
Living somewhere
Not with me
But you were you
You were you know…only here

I had my bicycle
At the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge
What to do
I was tired and confused and did what I knew...
I called you for you advice
As I always do

You weren't feeling well...
We discussed my options
Then you said you could just come get me
You really wanted to do it

You told me to wait….
Sit off to the side
You will find me…
And then we’ll have some fun.

Then my son cried
I opened my eyes
My dream was over

You weren’t here
You won’t be here
In fact…you’re nowhere around

I can’t even call
I can’t tell you my dreams anymore...

Who will I call
When I’m standing alone
At the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge?
sometimes life don't leave you alone

    I like this one suppafreak, it captures that waking up from a dream state. :)

    I had the dream about 5 minutes before I wrote it.

    (About 20 minutes ago...yawn...)

    Thank you. :)

    Reading this poem makes me cry

    More than any of the others

    Because who will I call when I'm standing alone at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge? Really....

    There's no one else I'd want to call.

    Sometimes I hate waking up.

  • just a little

    catefrancis wrote about hearing a crinklling
    of an unspecified package by the bedside
    and I went to sleep the night I read it

    more toward the morning i dreamt that i
    was living in a flop house, or a commune
    or a hostel with my mate and she and i were o.t.r.

    we were both sitting on the commodes
    of one of those commodes-for-two
    configurations, reaching into the blue cardboard box

    pulling out plugs
    crinkling the paper

    she asked me if she'd gotten any blood around her mouth
    and while i told her she did not
    you could see some.... just a little
