I Don't Want to Wake Up... Ever Again

you kept me warm
kept me sane
made me strong
but physically weak
so taken by your charm
my breath was stolen by your strength
there is no hope if I wake again
if I wake
it will only be to another's arms

you left me in the waste
this is my home now
I want to sleep here forever
and hold these memories close
stay with the dreams
and never wake again

if I wake
it won't be to you
I want to be faithful
not to another
only to you
but we're over
and you've won
and I'll never wake again
not with you here in my dreams

not with his arms
wrapped around my waist
whispering sweet nothings
meant to sway and use me
not with his lustful gaze
dark and obsessive....

you were strong
you only wanted the best for me
you were never greedy
you seldom lusted over my body
only loved it for what it was
and now as I lay and dream of you

I see your arms around me
whispering sweet promises
meant to comfort and guide me
with your loving, observant gaze
watching over me in my dreams

I don't want to wake up
ever again...
