While you were sleeping.

Lyrics

I spoke to you
once while you were dreaming.
What did I say?
What did you mean?

Who would've thought?
Who really cared
about your personal perfection in a webbing mirror?
Spoke my vainy sight,
"Is everything alright?"

"Well aren't I still here?"

A sermon to share;
I'll wait 'til you're sleeping;
I'll wait 'til you're scared.

Who could've known
with my jigsaw mouth
a reason, unknown, in the dark.
I'm piecing together a cause for a spark.

Do you dare to have a heart?

So I'll do what I have to now.
I made some coffee matching the sky;
no sugar coating,
no alibi.
My shaking hands are reaching.

Do you dare to hold a heart?

No creamy speckled skin to steal my eyes.
Just an indirect reason as to why I
still try.

Do you dare;
do I?

[Me]

Provocative indeed is this little offering - and thank you for sharing

[Priscilla Sayers]

Nicely done. I like the flow and the depth of asking that always thought provoking question..."Do you dare, do I?"

[afra]

first stanza was my favorite

[Allycat]

I love this, incredible lyrics! I have to agree with Kelsey, this piece has to be one of my favorites :D

[Kelsey]

This is so wonderful, I don't even know what to say; I'm truly at a loss for words. I love it.

[dukovan]

Thanks! Yeah this is actually one of my favorite pieces of my own I've written lately so its good to hear nice things. Maybe I'm not crazy.

[Kelsey]

Crazy is definitely not the word. This is by far one of my favorite things I've read on this site, if not my absolute favorite.

[dukovan]

I just tweaked it a little.
