At Night
When I lay my head down at night,
Your memory rushes back to me.
As I close my eyes,
I taste your lips of red wine,
Remembering what use to be.
The memories are so real,
So vivid and strong,
It is almost like you are here with me.
I can feel your body next to mine.
As your strong warm arms,
Start to embrace me.
You hold me tight in the pale moon light,
Saying you will always remember me.
I love you so much,
You are hard to erase,
I wonder if you were meant for me.
You run through my veins,
And rush through my head,
Please tell me what it is with me.
My heart is so hurt,
The pieces they lay,
Underneath my feet.
I walk a fine line,
It seems all of the time,
Wanting you to return to me.
When I lay down my head,
On the pillow at night,
At least I have you near to me.
