Sweet Dreams, Love
I can still feel the presence of those
Familiar faces
bursting through my numbness
Twisted images beneath my eyelids
Looming
Angry, pleading, screaming
Demanding: hear me
See me, feel me
Listen.
This bed is a cage
To sleep is
to drown
Sinking deep, deep down
Inside my self
Each night I pray for sweeter visions
Soft, pastel stillness
Quiet behind my weary eyes
I am floating
Above it all, I hear you call me
Your voice echos through my subconscious
And for moment,
Our hearts
beat as one
Only to be taken
by the rising sun
Familiar faces
bursting through my numbness
Twisted images beneath my eyelids
Looming
Angry, pleading, screaming
Demanding: hear me
See me, feel me
Listen.
This bed is a cage
To sleep is
to drown
Sinking deep, deep down
Inside my self
Each night I pray for sweeter visions
Soft, pastel stillness
Quiet behind my weary eyes
I am floating
Above it all, I hear you call me
Your voice echos through my subconscious
And for moment,
Our hearts
beat as one
Only to be taken
by the rising sun
