you wonder why I cry while I am asleep
with sunkissed roses in my eyes
and honeyed fruit that hang from my fingertips
that softly brush away the treacherous storms buried behind your smile
my dear, may you never know the reason that is why
you are the one that causes me to cry while I am asleep
may you never know the agony of the dreams before your time
the sufferage I invoke every night as I drown in your arms
as you quickly pass on, while I await the darkness to take me
i cannot wake you, you are in a place much more mystical then I
where you can grasp the roses without the thorns
and taste the honeydew that has been awaiting your company
i may only dream of your dream
the secret that I hold, fear of fear in itself
that one day you will taste that fruit for all of eternity
and leave my fragile body alone in this room
to serve no purpose but to relay all of the time I had, laid to waste
i felt defeated when we were together
i felt guilty when you held me
and I felt sorrow when you kissed me
i wish to rid of the selfishness that has consumed my love for you
but in the times of irony, it is always the selfishness that will not allow it
i want answers from a man who wants nothing more than to sleep at night
i want answers from the woman who cannot appreciate what she has
and this my love, is why I cry while I\'m asleep
i am brittle
i am weak
and you just desire a night of rest
