I want to close my eyes and sleep forever
In my dreams where you live
Melancholy heart
Reaching out for love
Reaching out for the
Precious partner
Whose heart beats match my own
The staccato drum
The rumbling cadence
In tune, in time
Beat, beat, beat
My breathing to still
An empty sigh
A last gasp
As I sink into your memory
Lose myself in your tenor
Or the tender tenure of your arms
Thud, thud, thud
As those tears that never fall
Sting at my lashes and
The ache in my
Melancholy heart
Never enough to make you real
Never enough to set me free or
To let me sleep
Forever in your embrace
