Sleep

who do you see
what are you thinking
as the clock ticks slower
and slower
just before you fall
into a deep slumber

who's that soul
filling in the throne
as you breathe in deeper
and deeper
in the sweet sounds of your sleep
wrapping your body warm

Yes I've seen
those loving eyes
cherry red lips
silky cheek
every night, in her sleep

And I promise
that I will always be there
while you are asleep
to keep cold away
to shine on you in the darkness
to put cheers to the sorrow
and give you warmth
of one love that'll never end

Yet as the sun rises
with the first blink of your eyes
I'd be gone
to a distance so far
hideous, unseen to your wit
you'd call it a fairy land
but I was certain
it was you
it was me
