my screams are lying
so many false things
get into my
heart
so many
true things
reveal
themselves
no sweet serenade
no tender kid parades
balloons and street fairs
happy friendly neighbors
we share
fireworks and ice tea
beer and laughing
but no one is there
everyone is gone
far from home
it isn't fair
my heart can't take
any more
all alone
goodbye again
again
I miss you
but you are
so far away
gone again
my dreams dying
screaming
and lying
everything
no longer matters
