while you were sleeping


there are walls of paper moons

buried between us where

i would write poetry

upon your headstone

 

haunted by statues

of graveyard angels

burning in starlight

 

but

 

before i could hold your hand

like the quiet whispering

of trees and their leaves 

that linger upon my ears

 

hesitating on whether to echo

or stay just as a whisper

on a winter evening

 

i could only conjure us

dancing on parchment

with mere words

dangling

from our lips

 

and as i breathe,

you fade in

and out

 

like a phantom singing

the chorus of an

almost love song,

playing the piano

off-key

like the beating of my heart

where your name resides

 

i would fashion a funeral

for your silhouette

which i only see in dreams,

complete with flowers

and candles, a passion

of two lost souls, complete

strangers

 

but 

 

almost lovers

 

and as i breathe,

you fade in

and out

 

in and out,

you fade into

a a ghost of a memory,

fleeting and intimate

 

but

 

the innocent touch

of a guilty kiss

plummets so much further

like a lie, hidden from view

at the back of my mind

 

and as i breathe,

you fade in

and out

 

temperamental

like the paper moon

buried between us

 

dying like a torn page

from your notebook

 

forgotten in a corner

like the dead roses

that wither

 

like the graveyard angels

drowning in starlight,

i am drunk knowing

you're only a dream

 

a delusion, a secret

i tell the shadows

while you were sleeping
