Sunshine Dreams
Candy coated promises feel nice when they go down
But the sweetness only lasts for so long
The feeling in my stomach reminds me of butterflies
But the sensation quickly fades into oblivion
Now it’s nausea, now it’s pain, now I hurt all over
What happened to the pleasant warmth
Where did the joy, the happiness, the love go
When did the blanket I used to sleep with cover my eyes
Blinding me to the truth
I wander the streets in search of that which I lost
With nothing but my newly discovered emptiness
To keep me company on my journey into the unknown
The strangers I meet along the way look at me
With a pity and disdain I thought was saved
For those much more worthless than myself
I sit alone on a bench and throw breadcrumbs to the birds
Wishing I could go back to the good days, the pleasant days
When you were mine and I was yours and we wanted for nothing
And then, there you are, like an angel in the waning sunlight
Walking the path towards me, smiling to yourself
That same wonderful smile which could light up a dark room
And I feel the butterflies have returned to their home inside me
Taking my hand in yours as you sit beside me not saying a word
I know when I fall asleep tonight my sunshine dreams await
