Bed

I wake from trouble sleep In the middle of the night Reaching for the soft hand That once held mine so tight My fingers touch the pillow Where you once layed your head And I run my hand down The cold cold sheets On your side of the bed My head spins from The perfume That lingers every place And I kiss the trace Of lipstick Left on your pillow case And here in this nightmare Of darkness I remember the day we wed And I clutch and tear At the tear stained sheets On my side of the bed My arms long to hold you My lips hunger for your kiss And I just couldn't Stand to go through Another lonely night like this These hands that once Coressed you Take a bottle from the drawer It says take one for sleeping But I'm taking many more What good is there In living if the dreams We she'd are dead So now at last I lay me down to sleep On you side of the bed
