a lucid dream

I could have asked
To stay a while
To draw the time
Out like a light
After all of this crying
I've finally made my peace
You were never gonna love me
I make my bed
So I can sleep
Through the dead of the night
To the late of the morning
Open the windows and air
The house out and clean the sheets
Hoping the new air could come erase me
Maybe you’re a lucid dream
I tried to keep locked up in my mind
But you're just another casualty
I tried to leave buried in the yard
Cleaning out the evidence
The trace you left is buried underneath
Staring at the ceiling wrapped in linens
With the faintest hint of bleach
