Untidy Souls

you appear in my night terrors as a figure in the distance.
I know that you are lost, I know that you are gone.
but
will I catch up to you,
before the black sky
turns blue?
if the whole world comes to light,
will you be out of sight?

I will soon be a memory.
patched together,
across an ocean,
fading into a dream you can't remember.
