Perfect
11-17-04
My life is perfect,
Everything is the way it should.
Every hope, every dream,
Is the way I wished it would.
There is no pain for me,
No hurt that burdens this soul.
People here are nice, and not just one,
But everyone as a whole.
The smell of coffee wakes me,
The birds are the first thing I hear.
I wake up next to the person,
That I�ve called wife just under a year.
Everything is flawless,
Nothing could go wrong.
Then I wake up,
To that annoying alarm song.
I get up and get dressed,
In this world of pain.
The iron burns my shirt,
And the grease clogs the drain.
Eggshells in my scrambled eggs,
And the milk has gone sour.
I forgot about daylight savings time,
And now I am behind by an hour.
Can it get any worse?!
I say as I drop and break a glass.
Oh yes, as my car dies,
Perfect, I ran out of gas.
Why do I have to dream
And make me want so much more?
Why couldn�t I live that life
And have everything I had before?
A life full of pain instead of joy,
And so much sorrow instead of hope.
Faith is replaced by doubt,
And these feelings I can no longer cope.
�Lord,� I pray, �Please let me dream,
Dream forever without wake.
I never want to end this dream.
Please for goodness sake!�
