love f(or)ever

walden freeman

i had a nightmare i could not go outside
i had become too dangerous
the sky had stayed too clear
too many bandages stuck to my ears

i had a dream when it rained it poured
all the doors became hinges
for bigger, better doors
i had a nightmare i could not go to sleep

i've weeped willows into both of my pillows
one for each night i haven't survived
alone is the color of all of my comfort
awake is the drying of my eyes

and i have no strength left
in my right or my left
i have given both to you
before i found out i needed them

deadnote

to hold your hand
and walk in the rain
through mountains
and fields of dreams
the older i grow
the more it stings
to know that i held you
so close to me
i wish i had taped us
innocent on the phone
it reminds me now
why im so alone
to reach out and trust you
i wish that i could
where are you
