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.
