Beyond These Walls

I lay here helplessly on my pillow The silence is loud, the lights are low No trace of my love to touch me in places Where only she knows and where my spot is I cannot wait to be at home This is just a house when I'm alone Yet don't fret, contented I'll remain Until the distance fades and she comes home again Beyond these these walls far away, yet so close Is my only love, the girl I love most Her kiss still lingers on my cold lips That awaits the warmth of her tender kiss Although there are days i can't understand her Her Individuality makes my heart ponder Yet somehow she has my constant attention And she reassures me that I am still the one So I'll wait for her to make it home again When she comes to let all her love flow I'll forever cherish the times we spend Whether between or beyond these wall, I won't let her go
