In the Arms of Bed

given the fingers for which to touch
the lips pressed close to kiss a cheek
to stroke the face when knowing of  sleep
to whisper the words of love  into the deafend ear
could the darkness conceal the tears 
or will we last the life time promised
every night i hope for the next
for love old and given new
im afraid to say but nothing matters anyway
