| Tonight I'm wearing a smile. All night I've been thinking of you. Scratching my brain to remember all the fun I had when I was with you. Bubbles of happiness fill my head and bounce off my walls of pain like a rubber racquet ball. Although I'm free, I still posses the power to harness all I knew of you. You are like the dragonfly in my dream garden. So beautiful, yet I still jump and squirm if you come too close, afraid you may have a hidden weapon. Only you fly a little reckless, and you don't mind that your wings are in constant repair. I fell into a sea of thorns when into your arms I leapt. Now all that lingers is the spirit of your deception. My shimmering, kinetic tears freeze to my face. Winter is here, and more than a dragonfly you are the evergreen in the corner, and you are the only thing still standing in my garden. I hang oval ornimets, pieces of my soul, on your branches, but they will all go back in the box once the snow starts to melt. Next year I'll wish for the same thing I'm wishing this year. I wish that the telephone of witner never rings. That next year my garden will stay roses, and willows forever. I hope that I'll never have to see that when all else fades away with the weather, the evergreen will stand strong through the storm. |
