Dreams they haunt me
Every night, your touch
I feel it so close
And it scares me so much
Your hands across my back
Moving to my chest
The memory, so bittersweet
My worst and yet my best
Your warm embrace
Soft and passionate kiss
That night I remember
In pain and in bliss
Was there some emotion there?
Or was my fear in vain
I held my fear and let you in
Now to live alone, my bane
At times I can forget you
As I stress about the day
But at night it all appears
My memories come out to play
And in pleasure and pain I remember your hands
And your whispers in my ear so sweet
For hours you touched me and stroked my bare skin
Letting you do so was an immeasurable feat
But it was all so fake
And now I know
You didn’t love me
Though I loved you so
And I now push them all away
For something as simple as a hug
Will set me off with memories of you
At my deepest fears they tug
As I try to forget you
A little at a time
In the day it works
The memories sour as a lime
But at night they come out
The memories, to play
And no matter what I do
It will always be that way
