What's Missing?

Awake I didn't mean to be I was asleep and she was standing next to me For the first time in a year, in a dream, we had been reunited She said, I'd love to go with you but sadly I was not invited I had been here before It's the old house from when I was nine But there was people on the roof, and cars around it, one on fire And as we walked into the house we saw the group of dull attenders Every one of them greeting me with how are you, have you surrendered It made me paranoid But I was curious to know what had become Of the upstairs room, that I would play with all my toys in when I was young It had been turned into a theatre and the guests had filled it up Every one of them greeting me with Sir, we haven't seen you in months It made me cold And gave me hope, and I thought that someday I could claim it Then they asked me wheres the pretty woman who they knew I'd came with I ran down and scanned the rooms, the halls had emptied out at dawn And I didn't see her, didn't know her, so I knew that she was gone That made me scared So I went went out the back, I needed air, and to get away But the backyard had stretched out and been renovated, and now it had a maze With towering silver walls, covered with pictures of people I had met Memories of some marvelous times that I had made before I left I made it out And once I did, I saw she stood in front of me, beneath the hollow streets light "I didn't know where you had gone" I said to her, she didn't respond Then I looked around to see the neighbors outside, each one was there to watch It made me nervous, now I knew I never should have come here in the first place They all circled in around me right on the cue received from their grace She grabbed my hands, I looked around, and soon her voice turned into hissing When she said Never mind
