There was the light
Hitting my eyes harsh
Like the sun shines through the rain

I realized it was a dream
A dream of the sun and the sky
The one I would hope to see again one day.

I reach out
With my eyes closed
And run my hand across the soft wood above me pretending its a cloud

I go to grab it
and something pricks my finger
I realize its a splinter
I open my eyes....

A tear rolls down my cheek
Realizing that it was the same as yesterday...that cold dark roof ten inches from my face

More tears roll down my cheek
and I take a deep breath
Controlling my emotions.

Because I realize
I will always dream of what I miss
And I will always wake up.

Still Dead.
