Hold Me in Your Arms

Having drained all my oceans of its water

In a state of being known as a drought

With a dry mouth and chapped lips

I still whispered her favorite colors

At night her dreams danced around me

Insomnia became my best friend

Insomnia feared she'd follow me to wonderland

Loving her was like taking one last picture of the sky

Even though you've seen it all your life

In fear, it might rain forever and you'd never see the sun again

Loving her was like finding a puzzle piece

Then to placing it in a puzzle that wasn't its own

I knew we'd never last

But she fit perfectly into my puzzle

I wanted to pretend that just for a moment

For a small fraction of time; that I meant something to her

Pretend that she wouldn't slip through a trap door

That would lead her to someone else's backyard

Where she would meet the beginning of the rainbow

Pretend that she'd follow me to the end instead of searching for the end of the rainbow

Pretend that when I turn around she wasn't in someone else's arms

Reality sets in and I miss her arms around me
