Goodnight Baby, Goodnight

“Goodnight baby,” echoes past the receivers disconnect

Severing the spells we weave in the hours before dawn

Left with bittersweet longings for the dreams they reflect

Slowly singing myself to sleep by the music of our song

 

“I love you” the last thought that filters through my mind

Three words that pour through my soul to sink into my bones

This is no riddle I can see clearly for this love is not blind

It’s slowly revealing as it builds never concealing what it owns

 

My heart is yours and for this I am complete I’ve found my place

Hope endures with my restless searching finally at an end

Tranquility returning to my sleep, the only dream I chase

Is to be held within your embrace to treasure the time we spend

 

Within these moments at times the words refuse to take form

Stumbling to express to you the impression you leave upon me

How significantly you’ve altered this hopeless soul so torn

Digging desperately to find this beauty in me you swear you see

 

A beauty you make me believe exists beyond the mess I personified

Deeper than the scars that surface the walls of my weakened pride

Barriers that displayed the blatant message of “ENTRY DENIED”

Crumble as betrayals of my past and this longing felt for you collide

 

How to justly convey with words gratitude for this gift so immense?

Saving me from myself, and these inner demons you persistently fight

An endless battle in bearing these burdens at your own expense

Just so that I am the one you hold close as you whisper “baby goodnight”

While reading this, I saw myself about 15 years ago, sitting on the phone with this girl I was absolutely lost in. The phone calls used to end so sweetly, just like this. I always hated that we had to hang up eventually� but alas, it wasn't meant to be� she left me for another man after about a year.

I miss those moments.

Beautifully written and a great read, thank you.

Beautiful, the act of another's giving..........love that heals and crosses all boundaries. I just loved the closing line, the peace it brings in this emotional piece.

This part I can very much relate too, but I have discovered really I am hurting myself more by
trying to shut someone out.
