I missed you tis true, and my love is yet strong

My heart skips a beat like notes in a song

It ponders the heart and the mind is not clear

The memory brings pain and the eyes shed a tear



Awake in the dark as I search for what's right

The dreams and the thoughts take control of the night

A song in the distance brings emotion too strong

A lost lover who sings 'bout a love that’s gone wrong



The master still calls me as night is her lair

I run from the shadow I feel the despair

I finally give in as there’s nowhere to run

I must give up the fight as the damage is done



The morning shines bright and drives away fear

The night so lonely, your presence not near

A welcome return from the night, the abyss

Yet through all of the pain I still long for your kiss



I think that I see you in places I go

I run fast to catch up but it’s no one I know

All of the places which memories surround

There's no place I can go where your ghost is not found



I dread the suns falling and the night almost here

Once again I'm a prisoner of shadows and fear

Your memory commands me like master to slave

To again kiss your lips is all that I crave



As the night closes in I hold on to what’s dear

The memories I hold even if you're not near

I will treasure you always alone in my bed

A slave to the master until I am dead
