I awaken alone; you’re not by my side br Every morning this is what I awaken to find br Only an endless dream, a figment of lust br I reach out to touch you, you slip away like dust br Midnight envelops me as I fall into sleep br Running through the rain of my nightmare’s scream br I see you up ahead of me, and finally we touch br I kiss you with passion, my heart you clutch br We settle into restless peace our time is running out br I know we can escape from here, I just don’t know how br Once again I awaken, alone and afraid br Clinging to twisted bed sheets and whispering your namebr br Emily Myersbr br
