Every Night I Fall In Love

Every night I fall in love with    
the girl inside my dreams
Waiting there with scarlet hair and
A folded pair of jeans
 
A soft wind blows in the coming night
And I close my sunken eyes
I kiss her neck and she kisses mine
And I feel what good decries
 
There’s nothing there 
But skin that’s bare and
A vision of endless mirth
Who am I 
To deny
The coming, of my rebirth?
 
I feel my soul being ripped apart and
I don’t know what to do
Lust against love and god above
And to whom I’ve been sworn to
 
Beauty and youth is stretched and worn by
The two extremes in me
Plotting parallels pull and pry
Away, who I wish to be.
