Should I Weep Or Should I Sleep

Now that love has gone and wandered

    Leaving lips once hungry with desire

Tender remembrances of caresses past

   To think on after love has passed 

 

 

 

When our time was all but over

   And hearts lie quiet in our breast

Where once our voices sang their chorus

   It’s your unspoken words that now I hear

 

Thoughts of you I still remember

  Of faded love that’s now deceased

Such infinite sorrow now I know

  In an echoing silence of fallen tears 

 

Should I weep or should I sleep?  

 

Shadows weave their ghostly threads

   In a restless heart that lies in quivers

Whispering anguished words that cry

  Of faded skies and winding rivers

 

I ask the question as I cry

   Did you hear a whispered story

That stole our glory from the sky

   Leaving you empty and cold of heart? 

 

 

I am haunted by evasive dreams  

   Feeding a hunger of remembered tears

Leaving my soul in passionate moods

  Oh how I long for quietude

 

Should I weep or should I sleep?

   This question lies in pain so deep

THIS BEGS!!! for arms enrapped so tight and light and sure... of tears being kissed in mourning morning hours and simple whispers echoing in tortured minds - whole lives through. Such a "Keepable" and yet - keep-able... you.
