but a dream

e i g h t

i had a doll

that never left my side.

she helped me go to sleep

and she hid me from bad dreams.

she had blond hair and

faded eyes.

i named her after you,

and when you weren't there she was.

and so i told her how i felt.

i told her i loved her.

and now she'd floating down the river

and im nothing but a mess.
