Nightmare

Wake in the night
Dream in the flesh
Sweating and crying
Betrayal still fresh

I reach for your body
Empty cold bed
Wake alone in the morning
Brings longing and dread

The touch of your skin
So warm next to mine
Such a strong memory
How can I be fine?

The smell on your pillow
Like torture to me
Don’t wash the sheets
I can’t don’t you see…

That I am still holding
Some hope in my heart
For you to come home
And make a fresh start
