Two Minus Two

I was waiting on a dream
    two minus two equals zero
a stray golden moonbeam
    you were my superhero

Lifting me up into the light
    floating in zero gravity
trying to hold you tight
    living in another reality

you drifted away
    gone, gone, gone

  1. "Waiting on a dream" is a potent term and I like how you expanded it into your narrative, Truedessa.

  2. I relate to your gone, gone, gone closure. There's no bigger nothing.

  7. Once we wake the beautiful dream is gone.... but fortunately also the nightmare.

  8. Your ‘waiting on a dream’ resonated with me, Truedessa, and I would love to encounter a stray golden moonbeam.

  10. "Two minus two equals zero" puts it so well. Sigh. I love the stray golden moonbeam too.
