that I could
Tomorrow When The Aliens ComeI open my eyes and find myself there
Waiting all but ten seconds
Just to watch you return
From someplace I don't know
Barefooted, you step in
In your chalk white gown
With your long brown hair
And a soulless demeanour
While the opening you came from
Seals behind you
Trapping me with you
Or you with me
But you can't see me
No matter how much I call you
My words jumble
And bumble
And stumble
And crumble
All the things I want to tell you
Communication won't let me
I'm nothing but a ghost
Quietly watching
As you lay back on the softness
To find your own slumber
But one time I caught you
Wringing your wrists
Uncomfortably
And I got so curious
Filled with overwhelming concern
That I knelt at your bedside
To hold your hands
And the surprising thing was
That I could
