Sweet Dreams

There’s a deep ache in my soul    
As if someone has died      
But the person who plagues my thoughts      
Is still alive      
     
Almost every night I dream of you      
Your voice my lullaby      
You tried to wake me from my dreams      
But I’d rather die      
     
Your cruel words sliced into me      
Like a million razors      
Screaming through my veins      
The pain a memory I savour      
     
What is it about you that’s so hypnotizing?     
You’re a drug      
And I’m an addict      
Begging for my hit of love      
     
You were volatile and unpredictable      
So I took note of your words      
But failed to memorize you      
So now on these pages I purge      
     
There’s a dull thud in my brain      
That sounds like your name      
No one can replace you      
It’s just not the same      
     
Picture perfect memories
Soft kisses    
Interwinding hugs     
All the little things I miss        
     
I toss and turn      
I hope I never wake      
I’ll see you in my dreams      
That’s something no one can take         
     
My eyes are red and raw      
My hearts empty and sore      
My bones are trembling      
My pain just pours      
     
It pours down my cheek      
It soaks into my hair      
I can barely move      
My body is too weak      
     
I can barely breathe      
I can barely think      
I can barely see      
You haunt me every night  
   
I’ll grip my pillow tightly      
Everything isn’t as it seems      
Wherever you are baby      
I’m always wishing you sweet dreams
