Waking up to you

Was it our dreams that woke you from such deep sleep?

As my eyes open all lights blind me,

seeing you before me on a bed of love,

this painful light twists into my heart.

When does it matter to one so frail the endless nights alone?

The scent you leave on my lips I crave,

waiting to see you smile at me again,

touched by your voice in my ear.

Can you see the sky through my eyes as the sun comes into view?

Images peering behind the shadows,

painting your body my hands,

biting away yesterdays heartache.

Would you know my fears just by looking into me?

I give all of this to you my soul,

heart ready to accept all of this,

waking up in you my dream.
