By your side...

The moon tells me you're still awake
Pricks me sharp as it strokes your face

I wave my hand as if to make
The clouds above float back in place

I sit beside and watch you sleep
All alone in a world your own

Wounds in me still do run deep
And once awake you'll want me gone

Living a dream yet so fragile
The bliss you feel is all I sought

As I wonder if to wait a while
The sun reminds me to linger not
