Echos

For a moment when I woke thought you were with me

My dreams had left your breath upon my skin

But even my tears could not console me

When I reached to find the place you'd never been

It's unfair that when I slumber I must see you

When I fought so hard to overcome your reach

But my dreams they have not pity for my heartbreak

And indifference is something you cant teach

All through the waking day the visions haunt me

As I carry on my minds still half asleep

Cause those images the night has put inside me

Are the images my heart most longs to keep

So tonight I'll lay my head upon my pillow

I'll pray to not remember what I see

Cause life's too short to live in echos

Of things I know can never come to be

Weird dreams last night.... car crashes, earth quakes, ex-boyfriends....  What's up with that?  Its not like I had pickles for a bed time snack or anything.... though I think the earthquake was brought on by my hubby starting the dryer when he got up to shower.  Oy vay so tired...  And why do ex's have to come into your dreams... seriously!  As if life isn't complicated enough without remembering someone in vivid detail that you're trying to forget.  Gurg!
