morning at three after a disturbing dream
opened my eyes in a veil of darkness it seem
deafening silence and a cold morning breeze
welcomed me like a stranger from exotic east

a shrouded past opens its door before me
a past that i have endeavored hard to flee
yet now it beckons and pulls my feet closer
a gravity so strong my will dwindled further

inside were things i thought long forgotten
of deeds and actions i wish to remain hidden
but here i stand among those lost memories
reminders of a past, those i'll never be free

i woke up on a dream to enter this nightmare
a clandestine trap i was coerced to enter
i loose sight of hope where light has failed
the room lay barren and the walls are veiled

i shout out loud yet i hear no scream
i ran around like a mad man on a whim
i felt the walls of this mythical dungeon
finding no escape, i'll be here for eons

then i hear a voice that sounded so meek
i knew it was your voice in a single blink
i looked around and see a growing sparkle
like a bright star in the dark sky it fell

your face i saw, your hands reached out
i started to see words form in your mouth
did i saw them or hear them, sure i'm not
but if i'm to die now i'll accept my lot

then after the brightness had slowly faded
i saw the morning sun on my window unshaded
i lie dumbstruck, my face wet with tears
my entire being a picture of absolute fear

then i saw you lying on the bed beside me
a look of care mixed with wonder i see
i remember my eyes that cried on my sleep
you must be wondering right now why i weep

you then gently smiled and wipe away my tears
and that lovely face took away all my fears
your look was strength i drew upon my weakness
your touch is love that brings me completeness
