By the Black Water

A Boy With Roses

The first time you came to me in my dreams                                                                              

Like a father with loving arms                                                                                                      

Like winter                                                                                                                                  

On a cold December night 

 

I thought I had fallen into an endless spiral                                                                              

With no way out                                                                                                                        

Like a crumbling ceiling in a derelict town                                                                                    

By the black water                                                                                                                                                            

Praying to the glittering moonlight 

 

I reached out to feel you, to touch you, but you vanished                                                            

Like my dreams after a soft night of heartache                                                                        

And sometimes I look at the sky and I think of you now                                                            

How we share this pain                                                                                                              

How the blood stained my nose and I woke up crying                                                                    

Trying to get back to you.
