The Dream's That Won'T Keep

As i wake up covered in sweat

My mind only thinks of him

And the pain that it wasn't real

That it was all a dream

As I wait for the pain

To become stronger than it is

To have that strangled hold on me

As it always does

When I dream of him

And it's only a dream

A dream I don't want to wake up from

Oh how i wish it was real

To the bottom of my core

To hear his voice, to touch him, to smell him

Just one more time

The thought , the fear

Of never seeing him again

Drops me to my knees in pain

A pain I can't describe

My heart shatters at the thought

Just one more time

would be enough

No it wouldn't

i want it all

But I don't know if it'll ever happen

I'm about to break

This pain I can't shake

Everytime i wake

I don't know how much more my heart can take

How many more times it can break

How much more I can take

I just want to be in his arms again

To feel safe again
