illusions of safety

... so through smoke and mirrors we could say:
'we saw the light of day,'
it seems like things are not quite working...
but we dream.

to what of all the nuts and bolts that hold us together?
they've disappeared from my clench'd hand
hidden in our withered cracks
and settled under chairs
and no one cares

like I'm lost in these trees but,
I cant find a forest anywhere

and only you were there
dreaming of the future...
