LA LA LA

dreams of the one who got away

By Tom DemarPublished 3 years ago Updated 3 months ago 1 min read

La La La, voices collide in my head

I listen but I can’t hear what they said

Calling and falling for you

Can anybody tell me what to do

Laughter surrounding my dream

No one beside me in bed

Quiet abounds, cool evening sounds

La La La, somewhere in millenia

I listened and I heard what you said

Reaching and teaching to me

We coddled like two shrimp in the sea

Carefully separate dreams

Can’t understand what it means

Seeing you here, can’t touch you dear

About the Creator

Tom Demar

I drove from NYC to see a friend in L.A. I drove to Oregon, to Seattle, to Kansas City, to Florida. I want to tell the stories of hopes and dreams, desires and desperation, my story, the wilder side. tom-demar.com
