Leave Me, Let Me Sleep

The hour was late, I fell asleep And dreamed of her again, I care not for waking hours, They fill my heart with pain. In my dream I held her Hopes I once had were stirred, No disbelief, no tears, No poignant final words. Lost in my reverie I caressed her golden hair, Then as she turned to kiss me I awakened, then despaired. So begone you daylight hours Leave me, let me sleep, My days are long and empty, I awake... remember... weep.
