laying awake in the dark
stars overhead hidden
with grey clouds
as dark as my thoughts
as my eyes close its you I see
standing alone staring back
that look that makes me feel
like no matter the day
you can see me
all of me
cant we turn back time
to when it was simple
when we could just lay silent
and every thing we had to say
was said without words
when your lips caressed my neck
and my hands ran across your shoulders
laying awake I can remember this all
as the stars streak across the sky
hidden like my hurt
making storm clouds rain
as tears soak my face
your image is burned into me
a beloved curse
cant we turn back time
just for a day so the lonely goes away
when you made me laugh and smile
how, no matter when
I could call and you'd be there
holding me tight
through tears, fears, and
loss
laying awake I wipe away the tears
another day to remember
the hurt that is left
of how I've never been
enough for you to stay
but I've been kept for those days
you need to remember
an after image
of something timeless
but broken
we cant turn back time
tomorrow hold no answers
but you'll haunt my heart
and in the lonely times
make me wish
I could be a time traveler
drifting back to you for
our lost love.
