I Linger, In The Nightmare of Feelings…

The one thing from the past, is that I know family will last,

She covered me in kisses, between the daisies and blades of grass,

From her blue eyes that shone the clouds, to the heaven scent of perfume,

As we lay there feeling the wind, in my ear she whispered "I love you".

I forgot how to dream,

I forgot how to breathe,

I linger in the nightmare of feelings,

Memories of the past, they just keep stealing...

With your voice, I painted the sky,

With my words I made you mine,

Listening to the sound of humming birds,

Me and you, our love took on the world.

The moon, dressed in silk, singing to the night,

The stars, dancing at will, handing us the light,

Love, written with quill, feathers falling while heart still cries,

Loss, aching beauty, there was so much more to her life.

I forgot how to dream,

I forgot how to breathe,

I linger in the nightmare of feelings,

Memories of the past, they just keep stealing...

The story of me and you scorched the pages,

Love was ablaze and the ashes were fading,

With every beat of a broken heart, to the stars I still say your name,

With every step forward I walked, I knew I was chancing a life in pain.

I linger in the nightmare of feelings,

Memories of the past, they just keep stealing,

I linger in the nightmare of feelings,

Memories of the past, they just keep stealing,

They just keep stealing...
