Stay in the light.

She asks me, why are you running in your sleep? Why is it you always seem to be running away?

 

October skies, 60 now, I've stopped running.

 

Yet at 3am in my sleep. Its 3am in Nyc all those years ago.

 

Chasing what I thought I wanted, yet knew it would bring me into the void, and I would never come back.

 

So I ran, then to you, and now to you, while I sleep, when the void opens up once again.

 

I didn't fall into it Michele, but I caught a glimpse of what was there.

 

That will live and breath in me forever. When awake, I breath into you and it fades.

 

Asleep when I was once awake, I see what's waiting there again, the abject sadness, that literally tears at my heart.

 

Hold me, please, Im not running baby, I'm simply trying to survive.

 

My father said once to always stay in the light son, the darkness is unforgiving.

 

He was right, now can I ever forgive myself for looking within it?

 

It changed me Michele, its just you only sense this and my desperation when I dream. 

 

Please don't ever let me get away again. I'd never make it back.

 

To you.
