Midnight wishes and waking dreams
Of you being here
Chasing away lonely nightmares
Striking fear into the demons of the dark
Squeezing tightly
Speaking deeply
Of what can never be
Naked thoughts
Nothing hidden
Spewing forth truths
As if holding them in
Makes one ill
Can a wish be taken
Can it be hidden
When two know
Ones mind
Ones thoughts
Can it be forever kept out of site
Deep within the eyes of a liar
For there it could never be beleived
Who would think that it could be true
When spoken form the lips
Of one who promises the stars
To anyone that smiles at them
Or gives them the time of day
May all remain quiet of this
May the music cover the silence
Of a hopeless dream
And
A dying dreamer
