A sun begins to fall

The sun begins to fall bringing forth the night,
Covering the world in darkness, swallowing the light.
My body shakes and trembles as you lay me in your bed,
This path is too uncertain, this world I fear to tread.
I remember seeing you lie there hoping it won't change;
But time does wonder to us all and nothing stays the same.
Now that peaceful darkness that held no fear for me,
Has become a tormented nightmare that I close my eyes
And see.
A storm rages within me, I see nothing but the past,
And like you I scream out why couldn’t our happiness last?
I reach out the blackness and feel you push away;
I cry out don’t leave me, as I scream out your name.
Long ago I begged you to come closer,
I couldn’t hear, and now it’s that closeness inside I should have feared.
I wanted you to love me each time I asked to stay.
I wanted you to leave me but hold me in my dreams.
But you held me in reality and left me as I screamed.
I wanted to give you freedom; freedom I’ll never know because the freedom I can’t offer comes from in the soul.
I’ll think of the way you’d console me back when we were friends,
The way our love got started, the way that it would end.
I’m not begging you to stay; I’m asking you not to leave.
Perhaps it s too confusing or maybe it’s black and white,
But without you beside me, I’ll always fear the night.
I’ll fear it for the many dreams that will dance inside my head.
Reminding me of happiness and the many things we said.
I’ll fear it for the teddy bear tucked under my arm and for a
A moment with my music when a certain song comes on.
I don’t want absolution; I deserve all that I get.
All I ask is forgiveness to put my soul to rest.
I know that love has hurt you.
I know love has torn you apart.
But please my child and lover.
Keep me in your heart. . .
