I swear that I know you
From a dark shadowed corner of time
Are you cast in imagination
Or were you a part of my life?

Some clouded revelation
A lost chapter I may never find
Will the haze break away and bring light to the day
Or will mystery prevail in my mind?

Now I hear you in my dreams
And I feel you in my soul again
From what depths you’ve risen
I may never know

So I’ll keep you in my dreams
And attempt to hold you safe within
Until my mind’s eye will
Let the clouds unfold

As my memory awakens
A vision meets me in the night
Of misery dressed up in sadness
As water flows free from her eyes

Draped all in crimson
Body and cloth flow as one
The gleam of the blade and the pain it has made
Burn hot as the noon day sun

What is this hell I’ve walked up on?
She lies there silently, and cries in the night

I know there is no way to save her
Or to comfort her
So I’ll hold her close to me
Until all the pain has died

Now I hear you in my dreams
And I feel you in my soul again
All the pain you went through
I may never know

So I’ll keep you in my dreams
And attempt to hold you safe within
As my memory haunts me
With a life that’s been thrown
Away..

I awoke from a power nap with a full song’s melody stuck in my head.

I tracked it quickly to prevent losing it, and wrote lyrics the next day..
I’ll post the song once it’s finished!
