I Wish I Could Have Myself Again
As I tuck myself to sleep, lie in bed and wish to weep.
Shadows flow from room to room, shining on impending doom.
Pray to sky that I will wake, another day to struggle through.
Senses snap and then I, too. This is me ending with you.
As I drift from life to death, you crawl and creep into my head.
Thought I could have peace of mind, but that was in another time.
Wrap your hands around my chest; I shut my eyes so I can see.
Grab my throat and catch my breath, this is where you ought to be.
As I wake from nightmare sleep, a memory I couldn’t keep.
This is me all clean and new, so alone and missing you.
Out of sight, out of mind; out of my control and when
I have lost my head for you, I wish I could have myself again.
