in the silent shrouded midnight
keeping still for hope you will not see me
you will not see the truth
that lies close to my heart of hearts
shoot me a heated glance, I care not
see not for if you were but a
ray of sunlight, you are my shadow
a silhouette of my dream and present
in my every nightmare
shine light into my vast tunnel
my hallowed halls of sleep
seeding my thoughts with your presence
shatter my liquid mind into a thousand pieces
keep trace of my form and function
twisting into a somnolent shape, a curve
that shifts a waiting turn of denial
daring a smile for my sake
as I slowly wake into your eyes
and pause for a long lonely moment
sigh into your warm hands
accept my fate, your faith in me
