Rain and wind pound against my window
begging to be let in
they echo thoughts of desolation
as the pain of life without you
tears me from within
The distance between us
is too far to comprehend
my voice will not be heard
so this message my heart will send
Alone in the emptiness
I stifle silent screams
My only comfort lying within long held dreams
a moment, a second
is all I would need
A breath in the eternity of time
to live the reality I wish could be mine
The things I would feel
no words could define
The simplest things would mean so much
your smile, your laugh
your hand to touch
Just the scent of your skin and hair
to feel your breath
and know you're there...
If I fell asleep in your arms
would you whisper that you would always stay?
You would answer my hopes
my deepest desires
and I would pray it to forever
remain that way
But suddenly reality cruelly pulls me back
as I remember we're apart
The illusion is shattered
mirroring the pieces of my broken heart
My each and every heartbeat helplessly cries your name
a hundred denials of the truth
could not erase my pain
Loneliness is not my companion
as I cry my tears at night
my tired heart is bruised and aching
too weak to continue her fight
As stars glow down upon me
from the dark sky above
reason tells me that my dreams alone
can never be enough
And though I know it is a waste of time
I'm still wishing you were here
and I'm still wishing you were mine...
During each of the eternal nights to come
I know my tears will endlessly fall like rain
for all of the people in this world
only you and you alone
can hope to save me from this pain...
