are you here with me tonight
as i lie awake in bed?
i think about how i have failed you today
and what a difference this has made.
when you promised you would never leave
to which situations did that apply?
for it's difficult to internalize you'd still want me
for today, i know i've made you cry.
i look out to the night sky
and see the clouds spread out in sheets
my thoughts immediately fly to you
how you swept me off my feet.
are you paying attention at all to me
as i write here in the dark?
please don't scoff and turn away
seeing numbness claim my heart.
tonight i cling to the hope
that nothing is as it seems
that there will be a way out from all this pain
God, please infiltrate my dreams.
