Dreamless Nights

Sleepless Nights ...

Lying alone in bed at night, I hear you whisper my name.

Countless nights rushing by, things remained the same.

Until the night I was curled up and sleeping.

I heard you rattle against my window thrashing and beating.

Like many other nights before I rose up to see, there was really no-one
out there, no-one calling me.

With the new sun rising shining bright, no sight, sound or trace of you
being here.

Out of my bed, gone from the night ... rid of the dread and fear.

Till darkness comes and sleep beckons, I lie alone and wait for
you.

You start with a gentle whisper that seems to tease, keeping me from
dreams willing to please.

Your urgency, your demands ... another night awake.

Here return the Autumn winds, oh how I miss the Summer breeze.
