I had the strangest dream

That you were here

And you gathered all my teeth

And all my fears went away

I woke in an empty room

With no beliefs

And all that you said to me

Is all I see

So now I sit

Bathing in the silence

From time to time

I like to haunt the empty streets at night

Invisible until beneath the lights

That line all the roads

And in my mind

I pull apart the thoughts that are not mine

And send them down the river we call time

And let the rest go

I always find

In the void left behind

That I can see

That we aren’t who we

Always thought we’d be

Funny thing?

But the realization is painless

And you left your hooks in me

But I don’t mind

I’ll find you in my sleep

From time to time

Time to time

I may be the lonely kind

By design

But here in these empty rooms

I always find

What I need

Listening to silence
