Goodnight Love

words still linger in my ear
soft tones of a gentle voice
trying to comfort a worried soul
and so desperately I took them in

every word through his lips
I devoured in happiness
as if I had not a moment to spare

knowing soon he would be gone, he tries
whispering promises of tomorrow
and holding me in lover arms
I just lay, drifting in my thoughts

I take him in,
Pressing my lips on his...laying in his arms
I drift off drugged on him
knowing this is his cue to leave...I try not to sleep
cause' i know I'll only to wake to empty arms

But, his melodic voice lulls me
if only i could mute it, so my innocent ears would not hear
because, once I fall asleep
he will abandon my bed for his own

As he opens my bedroom window and is about to jump out, the voice puts me into deeper sleep


" Goodnight Love..Goodnight. "
