Everyone is Someones Dream

once
my ideas lived like mountains
then they went traveling
I changed my mind about you

 my heart was no longer with music
plans with you collected black
  words became orphaned
hopeful became plain

the moon of my eye
saw the differences
 thoughts of you forgot to fly
they fell asleep on my pillow
 giving me flashbacks
they follow me home
you're always around
at night
coming out of corners
always curious
stealing my minutes
coloring my hands
 
I shall give you to the wind
tonight
and if you come back
 this picture won't be waiting

 my branches will be swaying in a new direction
 it's the song of the night i will live for
 something thankful rises from my body
my chest begins to anticipate some new air
i breathe in the lesson
in silence
