Resting Asleep

Christ. Dreaming I was awake, when I should be asleep. Just pull the curtain to close the window. Give me a chance to forgive the pain. My mind has always been a liar but I'm sure of it now that you're real. The way you dance inside my heart, pumps blood through my veins. I'm sure I can leave town again, forget all the emptiness inside my head. To believe that there was once a story of your smile looking back at me, in the reflection of your image in the water. Oh I swear drowning wouldn't be so bad, even if the currents take us whole. We float onto the sunset. But I fought the storm, as I kept pushing on. To take the rain and the wind, I am the earth quake. I self destruct as I crumble in a faithless dream, I bring everything down with me. Frozen, we found hope, but none of this is real because I created this chaos. A bed of sleepless hollows and the horrors of failures keeping us awake at night. To dream of nothingness is to avoid anything of reality. To be sure of death, we must wake up first. We must wake up and never sleep again. Forgive ourselves for the mess we've made. Salvation is the glory that arises with the sun. Even the light sleeps through the night. We have found each other, now we can live. "Welcome to your existence, that floats graciously in the green pastures of eternal life, in heaven." And breathe our love.
