Beside Me

 

Many are the nights
I spent lying in bed,
the war of existence
going on in my head.
I felt the pains of the living,
knew the fears for the dead.

 

For just a moment
I remembered what they said
then fell peacefully sleeping
and dreamed of you instead.

​

You were there in my eyes
as I looked at the sun
glittering in my sight,
and then, suddenly,
it was the dark of night,
and your eyes
held the glow of moonlight,
so hauntingly bright.
It brought back memories.

​

I remembered the dreams
we couldn't share
because you weren't there
beside me.
