letters i'll never give you

dream 2/poem form

in my dreams we go to space
you look at the stars
i look at your face.

i hold your hand
it feels the same
way that it did
back in 10th grade.

we went outside of the house
a lot of people lived there
and 3 people were already outside.

on Mars it was raining
and we looked up? or down
wherever Earth was,
that's where we looked

it was scary
but i didn't feel fear
i'm not afraid of things that aren't real
and i knew it was fake
because you were there

then Mars started shaking
and everyone got real excited
for the big bright ball coming
right at us.
the rain stopped.

i didn't go outside,
but i knew you were out there
waiting for me. another sign.

the house was empty
by the time the shaking ceased.
i went outside. i looked up at the red sky.
i didn't see anything but
fiery red.

i had to let you go.
i still do,

but you keep coming to me
in my dreams
you haunt me.

you make my blood run cold,
but you set me on fire.
oh how it burns so good
to be in your presence again.

come back tonight, won't you?
