Once again sleep and peace escape me
Like many nights and moons past
Through many endless nights yet ahead
Lies nothing but emptiness and despair
As I reach out to embrace the one I loved
Only vacant cold space awaits
This is the sorrow of my nightmares
That awakening from seems but a dream
A glimmer of hope shines into the dark
Visions of times spent in happiness
Laughter and magical moments flash by
Bringing fleeting moments of relief
Cast from this brief spell of warmth in my heart
My terrors return to torment me anew
Endlessly these demons chase me
Through my waking hours into the silence
My yearning to smile again
Bathed in the brightness of the sun
Compel me to make it through another day
For when I arrive in the place I desire
I will be....
Me
Once
More
