My Dreams





You know that I can see you when I close my eyes.

Even when you’re in a crowd, wearing a disguise.

I tried to put you in the past, start my life anew.

You are not someone I know, but someone that I knew.



Now I see beyond your games and your petty schemes.

I wish that I could ban you from my nightly dreams.

There was a time you were welcome in my everything.

That was long before your words left a deadly sting.



I cannot control my thoughts once I go to bed.

That’s when you help yourself and play inside my head.

Your silky voice will whisper that you’re forever mine.

A lie I did believe ‘til you didn’t walk the line.



I gave my love to you; you said you gave yours back.

But your promise once so bright, has faded into black.

When I’m awake I can fight the doubts and your deceit.

Yet I fall prey every night my body hits the sheets.



Your love just came to visit, your memory to stay.

The pain that I’ve endured hurts in every way.

Daily I repair my heart’s thin and threadbare seams.

So, if you’ve any mercy, stay out of my dreams.
