My Ideation

In the darkness I hold your hand In the stillness you're unaware Though you're asleep, I'm afraid to close my eyes Afraid that when I wake, if I dare You won't really be there Whispered confessions to you as you dream The things I tell you that you never hear If only my thoughts made a little sense Maybe I could tell you and make it clear And maybe my voice would keep you here I know one day I'll look and you'll be gone The place beside me empty, the space you left bare I'll look for your hand in the darkness In the stillness I'll be afraid to open my eyes and stare Afraid that when I wake, I'll find you were never really there.
