a short dream

life is pulling me down
sometimes im suicide bound
when i close my eyes
i see you...
i begain to think hard
i imagine those grandkids playin in our yard
i see how time flies
and nobody has time for goodbyes
i hear pretty songs and laughter
you tell me '...and forever after'
i keep your voice close
that was just the right dose
my eyes open into a new light
am i ok? not quite
this is what keeps me awake
to remember theses promises that we make
