Worn and Numb

I never said “I promise” you
I never thought I’d leave like that
A tearless drive to work I had
Thought you acted like a brat.

You fail to see the picture son
I always let you win
On this world the center is sun
In mine you always had been

Maybe I am too serious
And maybe my jokes are dry
But did you ever stop to think
You weren’t the only one to cry?

Yes we fought over stupid things
More than I care to think
That in the end it always was
You that made the stink

I love you now as before
My darling dearest jewel
I’ll wait a little while for you
To let your hot nerves cool

If I wait in vain too long
And nothing from you I hear
From my life I promise you
Banished as though a tear

Then one day you’ll finally see
Regretting letting us end
Then this will be all on you
Together we should have been

Sleep Sleep

Sleep, sleep

Through the night

Lay in my arms

I’ll hold you tight

 

My darling sweet

My one true half

Trust in me

I’ll make you laugh

 

I love you so

Why can’t we be

Together forever

My heart beats free

 

Give me a chance

I’ll prove I care

And without fail

Always be there

 

I go to sleep

Now this night

Cold and alone

With you in sight

 

And in my dreams

I’ve always been

Together with you

Now and again

I fell to darkness

I fell to darkness, a light long faded.

 The twist of hope, withdrawn from safety.

 A figure of thought, walked onward in shadow.

 In currents of emotion, we are betrayed.

 Now, lost to the trench of my immortal love, I slumber. 

Lay in wait, unacknowledged, out of time.
