"Ever since that day"

This one's for Mum, wherever you are...

I woke up, yearning your stare
Your side of the bed, the good side,
Empty, ruffled and bare.

I woke up, believing it was yesterday
It was no dream, no dare,
Your welcoming face had faded away.

I woke up, smelling my childhood
It ran past me, took you along,
And I cried as much as I could.

I woke up, feeling you surround me
Incomplete, without voice or form,
With a blink it became 'I' from 'We'.

I woke up, only to go back to bed
Life looked unreal, untrue,
And there was nothing left to be said...

--Oasis--

Scarlet Letters
And Velvet dreams
Clutching to sanity, is me,
Standing in between.

Jade smiles
And wishes so blue.
Where am I, where do I go,
I haven't got a clue.

Streets in red
And lives so rare.
I know not what I'm missing,
Yet I feel so bare.

Fairy tale commitments
And pixie lies.
They don't exist,
But I see them super size.

Crystal sleep
And pearly midnight dew
I pinch myself,
But end up hurting you.
