Description
air floating past my fingertipsyou are a beautiful shadow on my wall
you are a delightful ghost
within the confines of my mind.
you are cigarette smoke and ashes
and the caress of somber music playing
on a record player, reminding me
of foregone days and memories.
you drift between the cracks
and disappear prior to detection
you skip over floorboards to avoid
giving yourself away.
you are the elusive desires
of my heart personified
the daydreams which steal my sleep away
and demand ransom for my peace of mind.
and yet, although you pierce my soul
with daggers i cannot reach
i still search each corner of my room
for the lingering remnants of you.

Very nice... a dream from awakening and looking... wasn't she here? What is the name of that song where he asks, "do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hands?"... this reminds me of it.

that is john mayer, if i recall correctly. cannot remember the exact title of the song, though. "dreaming with a broken heart"?
the sentiment certainly applies.

That's it. You plucked the title from my incoherrant ramble. :0 So I guess it wasn't so incoherrant after all.
