Shock-wave
I've seen you before,
Somewhere,
In a photograph
Of a field,
With girls playing, boys
Laughing.
It was probably spring,
A long time ago,
In a time I don't seem to,
Remember, not anymore.
Then the picture fades,
And another takes it's place,
A darker one,
A more
Familiar one.
One with no girls and no
Boys,
One with no field,
Just cold winter winds
Stroking your hair
Until it toughens like ice,
In the blizzard soon to come from the horizon.
From there it's all downhill,
When reality becomes the picture,
And the picture blasts out and sends
A shock-wave through your body,
You shiver, you're scared
From the new world you're stuck in,
You're trapped, closed, left for dead,
Everything goes blurry,
You can't seem to remember it already.
Now you wake up,
It was all just in your head,
Though it feels so real,
It feels so… sad.
