Won't You Stay Awake For Me?

**Won't You Stay Awake For Me?**

Tavern walls barricade this heart,
from giving you all I got,
I close my eyes,
opening them,
the absence of you fills,
kills me.
A small tear rolls down my face,
than another,
and another,
and another....

My pink cored lips
are dry,
they miss
the touch of your
tender kiss.
My mind races,
traces the moments we've
had together,
stopping to day-dream
of our soon to be forever.

Stitched together,
my heart to yours,
or so it seems;
a fire of our love burns,
it burns through the
absence of your touch.

I know when you're
finally next to me,
that we'll fall asleep
in one another's arms;
but I just got to ask
you one thing...

Won't you stay?
Won't you stay awake
for me?
Your fingertips
that got me so caught
in this,
and the sunrise that
captures me in your
beauty which is
like a massive war
upon my soul.

Shall I compare you to
a summer's day?
I can't find words,
and this war's
got me trying to
fight to keep us
awake.
Fighting to keep
us awake,
cause there's
no place I'd rather
be than in your arms.

Our memories seep
from my veins,
weightless
yet bound by you and I.

Your face in my mind,
stares at me
our eyes are growing tired,
and everywhere we turn
there's pain and shame.
You pull me close,
kissing me passionately,
wrapping me inside you,
inside the beat of you,
inside the beat of our
heart.

Our souls flare,
burning with care
as I can't help but stare,
and my mouth speaks
wanting to know
"Won't you stay?
Won't you stay awake?
Stay awake for me?"

** to my baby I wrote this cause I love lying next to you and sometimes i dont even want to go to sleep even with you next to me cause I'd rather be looking at your beautiful face...
