Love Stolen

Love Stolen

From time to time when all alone,
i think of joys i might have known.
The pain i knew as one so young,
my life had only just begun.

At night for dawn i could not wait,
my dreams were filled with fear and hate.
Beneath the covers i would shrink,
at what was there beyond the brink.

Faceless horrors laughing all,
away from them i try to crawl.
Ogres, monsters, evil power,
beneath the sheets i cry and cower.

The love i wanted could not be,
so young when you were taken from me.
Your arms around me i never knew,
yet how i wish to be with you.

I crave not death, nor fear its touch,
but some things one can miss to much.
To have you hold me once again,
and wipe away those years of pain.

Mother i'm tired of this game i play,
i no longer wish another day.
And should tomorrow never come,
i will be with you at last, your son.
