"How vain is it to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live?" - Henry David Thoreau


Sometimes when I’m all alone
I feel a hand against my face,
Like nothing I have ever known
I close my eyes and see your face

Soon, the feeling fades away
And I am left with just a trace
I wish the hand would stop, would stay
Gently moving o’er my face

Then I realize what I felt
Was just a scrap of tattered lace
And the musky scent I smelt
Was just a moldy pillowcase
