Pickpocketing dreamers
She stole my heart with a single glance
I became entranced, enthralled by the moment's momentum
The sun went into heaven, and the stars evaporated
Through time, like a conveyor belt, I was slung like a grape through a vessel
The air becomes black and the stars become sticky
I am sticking to the stars like a leaf to the vacuum
And out of that arises an answer, a peaceful proposition
Remember. Kelley. Remember.
You will make it to the dawn.
Stress not the unusual, lead not down the travelled halls, pace towards the moon instead
One step makes the next step that much easier
Don't drown in the sorrow from empty thoughts and feelings taking excuses from you like a holocaust of the heart
You will remember, darling, soon.
The fall never happened. You were always real. Never forget, my lover. Your kiss meant everything to me.
