Staring blankly at the wall.
You are dancing in the shadows.
I wish you’d call.
It’s late. I just can’t sleep. To close
my eyes is hard. Inside my lids
of you an image froze.
I need to rest but they
Stubbornly refuse to shut.
Of what am I afraid?
Now I close my eyes to try to sleep.
Visions of you inside my head
and from my memories seep.
It’s you. I don’t want to forget.
Our love, I don’t want it to die.
In stone, I thought it set.
What happens at night when
You close your eyes? Is it me
you see? How long has it been?
Do you see me as I see
you? Could you love me
still? Or have I been set free?
It’s our dreams and our love to save!
Why oh why must we sever.
I will always love you even of your love depraved.
I close my eyes again to sleep. I dream
of us. Together we are, all is
well it would seem.
I know I will awaken later. My heart torn
because you are still gone. But for tonight,
Let me dream a little more.
