Nocturnal Fantasy

Down the dimly streets I walk
with hopes of getting home safe
I struggle in the darkness
reaching for my phone in my pocket

I stopped to a light post
and stood there for a moment
I thought of what had transpired today
like looking back before hitting the end of the tunnel

And I thought of him in randomness
as I fleet away in the depth of my imagination
I realized how many nights were spent in the absence of him
Everything is not anymore it used to seem

I held my forehead and rubbed my eyes
My hands traced for heat as it stiffened like ice
I felt dizzy like the cold, December nights
we used to celebrate in alcohol and cigar

To the ground, I fell unconscious
and I saw an undistinguished man carry me
I felt his arms like the touch of sea
but I was too unconscious to see

The next thing I knew, I was on my bed
On top of the pillow, laid my head
It was 5:00 in the morning
when I noticed my pillow is wet

To the upbringing of morning,
I wake and opened my eyes
It was bright and blurry from the tears I shed last night
as I sailed back from these pleasant nightmares

To see a glimpse of a world anew,
I contemplate in the window and no longer see pieces of you
