Sleepless For You



In the darkness of the night,
I lay awake,
Sleepless,
Like the wind outside my window,
Forever searching for you,
You have left my arms,
But your warmth still lingers,
Come back to me,
To the soft warm glow of our love,
To the sacred moments heightened above all,
Where have you gone,
Have you returned back to your prison,
With lying mask grinning,
I have seen the pain in your eyes,
And the passion in your heart,
Come back to me,
I will be your light in darkness,
As you are mine,
Now I must quench my thirst with patience,
Rather than with your sweet lips,
In the darkness of the night,
Sleepless for you.
