a Lover's Insomnia
There was that look in his eye
A light under the deep veins
A glimmer of hope that stayed,
Lingered through the night.
in a lover's insomnia
Laying in bed
staring at the ceiling
the pillow a canvas for the tears.
Yet the picture is never quite as sad
viewed through his eyes.
Hopes and dreams fall like autumn leaves,
nightmares mellow and shades grey.
Lines blur as tears fill bloodshot eyes
life kicks back harder then we push
And its so hard to sleep with her on my mind
Happy or sad
smiling or dying
longing for an embrace
for a rest of assurance
caught in a lover's insomnia
