In Dreams

In Dreams


~ + ~ + ~ + ~


When I feel your gaze upon me and I turn
The heat from your eyes sears me
I die a little more

Every time my name passes your lips
I am tormented with a thousand deaths
For I know you will not risk your heart
And the love I would give you

You have no idea that on the breath of your words
My funeral march is found
And never will you know who I am
For I am anonymous
And would lose you completely if I were not

But I have to tell you
Without telling you
That I love you

My heart is not yet broken
From all I’ve been through
Instead my heart is withering
In the husk that is my soul
And soon I fear it will die

So I will lay beside you when I slumber
And hold you while I sleep
And be content to have you
If only in my dreams
