Stranger

 Dear Stranger in my dreams, 

I have travelled to thoughts extreme, 

And places I have never been 

In search of You.

A key in hand, I have struggled 

Through finding its match; 

A lock at sight, I lost the key I had.

I knew not where to find you 

So I waited for You to find me.


Time turned tides, my body fails me, 

The bridge has collapsed on my side of reality, 

Like sand grains falling off the tightened fist, 

You slip away in my memory.

Your voice fades with each passing day, 

Your countenance is a figment of imagination 

Before I know it, You aren't You.

I know there is no escape. 

I know I have to cross the river 

Swim across or drown in it 

Trying to get back to You.
