My Nightly Nightmare

Night time is my nightly nightmare, It's the time I miss you the most

I go outside and gaze with eyes wide open at the shaded sky and melancholy moon

I search out the sky studded stars one by one, I silently speak to each star and ask, is that you shining

Do you fill the silence with your sentences

I light candles in the darkness and their flames dart and dance in the black breeze

Do you hear me when I whisper in the wind, where are you

I cry, the tears trickle down my cheeks as it's your caress they seek 

Do you dry my tears

I hear our wind chimes sing their sweet song

Do you make them dance

I call out your name and ask your spirit to give me a sign you are near

Do you send me a sign

I play your tunes time after time and hope the sounds spiral up into the sky 

Do you hear them

I come back inside and collapse like a corpse

Do you see me

I gaze gloomily at the television in a trance

Do you watch it with me

I debate the daily dramas with you

Do you hear me

I trail thoughts of you and memories in my mind

Do you send me the thoughts

I eventually go to bed with sadness in my head

Do you lay next to me

I miss you

Do you know how much

I love you

Do you see the luminescence of my love from up above

My nightly nightmare, it never stops
