Free Cee From Morning Until Midnight

FROM MIDNIGHT UNTIL MORNING At nighttime I see things not meant to be seen And I wish my midnight sight were blurred I have the very same dream that seems so mean Because it’s kinder than what actually occurred My heart is like a child all on his own But my mind has grown much too old My thoughts of grandeur were overblown And what I see at night leaves me cold Breathless and unable to move or speak I awake to what reality declares In the morning the sun seems so bleak Because the morning never really cares You are nicer in my dreams than ever before I’m never made to suffer your inconsideration They are dreams a man like me can’t ignore Wretched remembrances of what once was adoration Dreams can often be worse than the day And that, I’m afraid, is for sorrow’s sake In my dreams you never chase me away And that’s why I’m saddened when I finally awake © 2008…..free cee!
