An Insomniac Nightmare

I wake up, unable to move,

My body is heavy from dreaming of you. 

Mind is numb,

Heart is racing-

I long for you touch, and it\'s your fingers I\'m tracing.

Against my skin, I feel your warmth.  

I reach for your hand and it disappears. 

Sleep should be bliss,

But it\'s all I fear. 

 

Insomniacs dream to fall asleep, 

To row their boat through that gentle stream.

Merrily, I fall asleep, and

You, my love, are my once upon a dream.

But, when I wake, you\'re never there. 

An insomniac\'s dream is a lover\'s nightmare.

 

They say that if you can dream, 

You can make it true,

And I would believe if it weren\'t for you.

It\'s clear that certain dreams aren\'t meant to be,

So I stay awake to forget you and me.

 

I stay awake for nights on end, 

Wishing we\'d be more than friends. 

Walking through the gardens of my mind,

He loves me so, He loves me not,

I dream of the love that you forgot. 

 

I stay awake and never sleep,

For wishful thinking is all I need. 

If I lay and rest my head, 

I find you beside me in my bed.

I laugh and love with you all night,

Dream boy, my love, you are my light.

When I wake and you\'re never there,

An insomniac\'s dream becomes a lover\'s nightmare.
