Awake With The Tears That Induce Sleep.

So it's another morning without my body next to yours,

And it's another morning where I don't hear your voice,

But I shed the tears of burning streams, crying myself awake.

A dream of love fading into the dark recesses of my mind,

Vanishing so slowly like a fog lifting in Winter.

It's a rainy day full of heartache and disbelief,

The drops of water falling hard against the roof,

Pitying my skin as I look up to the dark clouded sky.

And thunder claps the atmosphere into shaking,

The ocean roaring in the distance, so taunting.

I stand alone in a puddle of the skies tears,

My own drifting to the ground in streams.

I'm within five minutes of my grave,

And you're not here to hold me,

To whisper my name so softly,

To grant me the best wish and be mine.

And you're not available to be close enough to kiss,

Close enough to get lost in the scent you give,

Close enough fo rmy ear to listen to your heartbeat fast of shallow.

My eyes take in the face of reflection at my feet,

The one I only see in my memory and photo's,

And where my eyes are, yours are too.

And where my lips move to whisper what I feel,

Yours do too, just as quiet and slow.

To the puddle I say, "I love you, forever and always,"

And the man in the rain says he does the same for me.

So I bend down, hold my kness to my soaked body,

And I place my hand over the puddle's surface,

And wipe away what I see because it hurts to love so deeply.

So it's another night without my body next to yours,

And it's another night where I don't hear your voice,

But I shed the tears of burning stream, crying myself to sleep.
