The Awakening

Waking up is like grieving Take me back to my dream For that was something to believe in This reality just rips at my seam. I was with you just moments ago You lived again under my eyes We rolled around in the snow And kissed beneath the starlit skies. Every time that I awake You are forced to go back to sleep And each dawn is a new heartbreak Through my eyes you weep. I see each day as a punishment For loving you too much We could never feel too close Even when we would touch. For I had heaven when you were here It does not exist beyond the sky If this is life and you’re not near Then I must choose to die, And then all my waking will all be done But we my love will set like the sun, Side by side where we belong In life I was weak But in death I’ll be strong.
