The Pillow of You

I slept with your vision
in dreams last night,
'till glaring incision
of realities daylight
pierced my lonely eyes.

I awoke with a cold
sweat on my brow,
my pillow I hold
and wish that somehow
its' softness was you.

My temperatures' rising
of vain hopeful wish,
thru long days fantasizing
for the grace of your kiss
O could 'ere dreams come true!

Now the night it comes falling
on my lonely head,
once again I go crawling
to my tearstained bed
and the pillow of you.
