Lost Chances

He was my source of inspiration and hope.
Have faith my young one.
You'll wake up one night, panting and gasping for breath.
Eyes wide wide open
You know they see you
When you step into your bed
When your eyes awake at dawn
When you walk to the nearest train station
Inescapable, incapable
Are you able
to get this through?
The sky is so blue
a bird flew right by
it begs to me to come and follow him to the heavens
By "no I can't possibly" I say
"Well that's too bad"
And it flew away, never to be seen again.
