good morning

slowly the dark fades away

the moon sleeps thought the day

his voice might say

"good morning"

her eyes flutter open 

with a warm welcome kiss

the rustle of soft sheets

like a breezy Autumn day

but this will all go away

a car in a leaf pile catches on fire

a matchbox thrown away

all torn to bits

two people one survivor

nitrious oxide thought a tube

is this not bliss

the moon awakens now

a memory is gone

a girl in a bed a man in her head

are the only things left

the rest are dead

a machine whirs to rest she awakens to a nest

she silently slips out of bed

and peeks her head

into the hallway 

and it seems to want to say

"good morning"
