sitting here inside this dream
wake up, maybe try to scream
the feeling deep inside my fear
that there's a chance you'll disappear

painting a picture in my head
of you here, inside my bed
arms held close and I lose sight
thinking of you this night

smother me with all the love
you fit with me just like a glove
this thing we have is pretty fun
when I'm with you, I come undone

never mind the lesser past
I get to be with you at last
ride you like this tidal wave
lately I've been feeling brave
You know I'm not sleeping.
I drink black coffee in the evening,
Hands ticking past midnight,
I even miss the fighting.

There's something you've hidden,
You've quietly taken.
Why can't you feel guilty,
You've got me under you're thumb.

Among the stars, above the sky
  I saw your beauty there
I reached my hand out just to try
  To touch your beauty fair

The stars were shining on your face
  The moonlight as your clothes
I stood up, began to chase
My heart sped up, began to race
You disappeared without a trace
  And I was left alone

Looking up, I thought I saw
  A star fall from the sky
A golden spark, unbound by law
  A fire that’d never die

I watched as you fell to the ground
  An angel sent from God
I heard my heart begin to pound
I looked and looked and looked around
But you were nowhere to be found
  I finally gave up hope

To my knees I fell to cry
  Upon the rocky ground
From behind I heard a sigh
  A soft and saddened sound

I turned around, turned to see
  A shadow in the night
I looked at you, you looked at me
You’d be the one to set me free
I felt like we were meant to be
  Up until you left

Chasing you into the night
  I followed where you went
I wouldn’t let you leave my sight
I’d not go down without a fight
‘Cause being with you, it felt so right
  I’d never let you go

As the sun began to rise
  You stumbled to a stop
You turned to look into my eyes
  My gaze I wouldn’t drop

I watched you as a golden ray
  Of sunlight hit your face
Then you spoke, began to say
Today, right now, would be the day
You would no longer go away
  I’d hold you in my arms

Time has passed and so have you
  This memory lingers on
The words I spoke to you were true
I loved you then, and still I do
Dear reader, I bid you adieu
  I go back to meet my love.
Dreamers can never be caged, you see;
their dreams become wings which set them free.

Aaargh! Can't believe I won the daily! Thank you to everyone who liked and shared. Lots of love.

While the trees sleep,
I lie awake. Eyes wide open.
My body is whole,
My soul is broken.

My precious son
that I prayed be born,
Is now gone;
I feel cheated…forlorn.

Good memories race through my mind;
His smile, his embrace;
He was so kind!
God took him away,
Was it really time?

He’s happy in heaven,
but I’m not fine.
Here on earth my heart still breaks
for my only son and his loving embrace.

God give me strength to live through this,
And for others who’ve lost children,
Please give them bliss.
No parent should have to endure this.
You do not understand,
I have never known love
I have had many lovers
But none of whom have loved me
Nor have I ever loved in return.

You do not understand
You puzzle me
With you, I am like a child learning to walk
Learning to speak
This is all a foreign language to me.

You do not understand
I am afraid.
Time goes by swiftly
but I remember it well...

For daddy would walk down
with a fun tale to tell...

I would put on the coffee
and we would sit out back...

At the table he made us
for enjoying our snacks...

Now daddy and hubby
are no longer around...

But I think of them daily
I can almost hear the sound...

Of them laughing and talking
I wish they were still around...

Remember time goes by so swiftly
take time to play...

Enjoying each other
and each and every day...
