All My Nights
i lie in bed
in the darkness
and i fight away
thoughts of you
your sweetest lips
and softest touch
i fight the image
of you lying next to me
your scent filling the air
i try to not hear
the sound of your heartbeat
or subtle breath
i lie still
afraid to look away
and see your hair
glowing from the backlit moon
and streetlights outside
my shut window blinds
the sound of your voice
lingers in my ear
tantalizing me and tutoring me
pulling me into the feeling
of your perfect kisses
and immeasurable value
of the 'I love you"'s
whispered in my ear
i fight the warmth
you gave off
in my arms
the way your chest
rose into mine
as you breathed
head snuggled in my neck
i can see myself sleeping
so peaceful in your heaven
everynight i lie here
and ask myself to stop
stop needing you beside me
wanting your scent in my air
seeing the glow in your eyes
and the smooth surgace
of your ivory skin
i fight true love
all my nights
you come to me still
with your charming smiles
and tall fram
and you kiss me to sleep
i awake with the yearning
of it all being real
but i must await the battles ahead
and all my nights end
and begin again.
