Loneliness approaches me in the dead of night
He places his arms around my waist and holds me tight
He whispers sweet nothings; mostly I love you's and I'll never let you go
He looks into my eyes and I swear, he devours me, whole
A step back, two steps front
Will I trip and fall in yet another hole?
He sways me left,
He sways me right,
I'm losing my balance,
I'm losing my sight
My thoughts they wander and I'm at a loss for words
My heart is pounding,
My chest,
About to burst
He lays me onto my bed,
Tears streaming down my face,
A kiss gracing my cheeks,
And so much left unsaid.
He promises to come back,
Every night,
And I hold my pillow tight.
Nightmares like these,
Never end right.
