| Pillows Soft and warm substitutes Fluffy cotton is not a replacement For skin and flesh I clutch tightly anyway Dreaming of another time Longing for another's touch Never to reveal my darkest secrets Empty comfort in fantasies Fluffy cotton and clean sheets I toss and turn I wrap myself in fluffy cotton and clean sheets Longing for another's touch There's no distinction anymore Between dreams, fantasies, and nightmares My bed, sheets, and pillows My empty heart filled with wasted time I rest my head on a pillow I dream of a hero My queen, my life Better to dream than to stay awake |
