Endless Nights

Why won't I close my eyes

This pillow is pulling me in

I can feel myself fade

In the middle of the night

The middle of my thoughts

I can hear the wind blowing outside

But I don't hear your voice

I can hear myself breathing

A steady pace of inhales and exhales

Taking in the air

Which lacks the scent of your hair

Just like an angel's hand on my head

I need you here, To set me free

On a bed of nails I wait, I wait

The nights are painfully long

Made by the presence of your absence

But the thought of a lifetime with you

Doesn't seem long enough

I hold on to the belief

That I will see the light of Day

Brought on by a beautiful sunrise

Born in your eyes.
