Mid-morning

These nights long for sleep
But last until mid-morning
With the last gasping breathe,
It'll be you who I choose to miss

And with the words that are spoken,
I hope you take it all in
And understand just what it means
When I say, "I hope it's real."

I'd give it all up
To have it all back
But I'm not sure what to feel,
When it comes down to that....

I've pressed through the glass
That shattered my heart
I've felt every emotion
And fell completely apart

Yet with your tender touch
I felt absolutely serene
But it all tore apart
When the eyes deceived

And these nights continue to last
Far past 6 am and mid-morning
I lie here away and pray
That I'll get some type of warning

My last breathe is coming upon me
Like the sheet of fog over my sea
And now it's down to only you and me
I just hope one day that you'll be

It's still mid-morning and I'm here
Lying in bed all alone
Wishing that you would say it's all true
And you'd agree that it's all real too
