Skin like milk
Lips cherry red
Your outline etched
Inside my head
Making no sound
Thinking only instead
Of when we’ll fall
Into your bed
"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
Skin like milk
Lips cherry red
Your outline etched
Inside my head
Making no sound
Thinking only instead
Of when we’ll fall
Into your bed
I guess I hadn’t realised
Others would dream about their dead
That it’s not just me
At the mercy
Of the thoughts inside their head
What I never expected, however,
Is their dreams seem to be quite pleasant
Not like mine
Where he’s still dying
And fear is ever-present
Now I’m wondering how they do it
And if I could control my dreams
As to see him smile
Just for a while
May well reduce my screams
‘You Don’t Know What You’ve Got ‘Til It’s Gone ‘
It’s
only
now
I dream
of
you
Now
that
you
are
dead
If
only
you
were
still
here
And
not
just
inside
my
head

I went back to bed
Three times today
To try to dream
This pain away
But it didn’t work
And now I’m awake
Do I have any choice
But my life to take?
When I was told
What did unfold
I’ll admit that
I was envious
For you achieved
Of what I dream
As my will to live
Is tenuous
Bad thoughts creep
As I’m without sleep
For yet another night
Fears won’t keep
Whilst I lie and weep
Losing the will to fight
So is this it
Do you think
Humankind
On the brink
Of utter demise
Total collapse
Never to see
Another sunrise perhaps
Or will we live on
For another chance
To think and to dream
Whilst our souls advance
You
were
in my
dreams
last night
We
kissed
longingly
by the
fire
Although
I woke
with a
painful
fright
It
didn’t
quite
quench
my desire
I’m
only happyWhen
I’m dreamingOf
you
I wish
I spent
more time
sleeping
Instead
of all
this
weeping
It would
be nice to
do some
dreaming
As
opposed
to all this
screaming
Maybe
one day
we’ll meet
againBut no one
knows
if that’s
trueSo until
such time
as that day
may comeI’ll just
lie here
and dream
of you
Not only
did I
sleep
last nightI
also
dreamt
of youI
woke
up
cryingWith
my
insides
dyingOh why
can’t my
dreams
come true?
Well I
guess
there’s
nothing
else for it
Three hours
left wading
through
this
bullshit
Perhaps I
should
hand in
my notice
and quit
At least
then that
would be
the end
of it
