Limbo

A bed full of satin sheets
keep you warm like a queen
as you toss and turn so gently
your pillow provides no cover
from the thoughts that so rudely invade

wishings of this and wantings of that
never at peace with decisions
when the jury has been dismissed for so long
you squirm nervously on the stand
reverse the roles darling

time takes its leave
as you stare at the white ceiling
hours and minutes lose meaning
eternal beauty cannot be distracted
with hunting down the culprit
of these sleepless nights

crates of guilt
weigh such a lively figure down
when all she has wanted
is just a desire away
its hard to name a dream
when she feels
they've all been taken away

And for every tear
that has been shed for another
wanting to grant bliss
making herself smile
was never important
god's show their dismay
creating such an angellic grin
but not gazing upon it as often
or as easily as they should

and as you toss and turn
on this new years day
and me wishing i could hold you
until those thoughts left the fray
or grant a wish
of just a few good nights sleep
pass the thoughts onto me
and ill bury them deep

and when your eyelids close
a smile etches itself so wide
and worries are cast out to sea
as I watch them float from my window
wanting to one day walk the sand
talk to you from dusk till dawn
maybe share a hand in hand
given a night to remember
and knowing in what we confide
those thoughts that were once so plagued
will no longer fault your stride
