Sit and Stare

I sit and stare at the grand abyss
Coz I don’t even miss
You now you’re gone
And I never said so long
Never got a chance
Almost asked you to the dance
If I had’ve would you still be here
A butterfly flaps its wings and the sky clears
And I remember I had a dream
The night before
I had fallen through the floor
Into the water
Like someone’s daughter
And someone’s son, the father
Tries to save you from the sea
And I woke up, to a degree,
To realise it was imagined
Relief
Then the crashing thief
You’re not lost under a boat
But neither does hope float
And they’re turning it off
At twelve noon
And every second is a second too soon
But, God, is there no hope
I cry tears into the side of my coat
Coz I don’t feel worthy of
The dregs of pain that accompany love
When you’re eighteen
And no longer in the dream
