Cruel Nightmare

I awake-again
With thoughts of you,
So far, my friend.
I dreamed of you and me together
Holding hands, love forever
Instead I wake to a nightmare unknown
I don't like this world
I am so cold.

The day that you told me, that you were to leave
My whole world collapsed, I could no longer breath
The day that you left was something more
I will never forget when you walked out that door.

I play a role here, in my view-perfect-life
Nobody knows how I feel about you, or
That I would kill to be your wife
I have another love, but he knows not either
I thought that it would make things a bit easier.
It didn't.

Fighting a battle, in which none of us know the outcome
I get scared thinking about the bombs, shootings, and guns
I know that you'll make it,
At least I can pray
Just promise me that you'll return safely home soon
Someday.

I fall asleep once more
To a light I haven't seen
I know that it's you telling me that everything is all right...
Oh this dream is so mean
I feel so close to you, but
I know that it's a lie
When I awake I know...
I'm forced to say
Good-bye.
