Question Crumbs

I wonder if you’re sleeping
in a foreign dream
I know nothing about?
Is the air you’re breathing
paid for ‘til check out time?
Did you leave a wake-up call
for the sound of my voice?
Questions are all you left me,
so I’ll drop these,
like a fairy tale,
hoping you’ll
find your way home.

Whenever I type in word verification, it makes me type, "Iheartgrits", but I digress.....:)

Seriously, you're on a roll lately, but what's with all the break-up poems? Do you want to make Kai sad again?

This foreign land of dreams where people we care about walk on their own .. unreachable. Myrriad images rush through the mind. And every guess is as good as it gets. Beautiful poem.
