One More Commercial for a Sleep Aid

Written 10-19-05

Lying on my bed,

Painting a sea of stars in my head

That dance around me like a halo.

And as I lay here, I drift to dreams

And bask in the palest moon glow.

 

Put an end to a very long day and allow my brain to slip away

Into the land of dreams and sorrows...

Only to rest till I wake tomorrow.

 

Your face, it haunts my dreams,

Causes me to wake in tearful screams.

How did I wrong you?

How did I hurt you?

What was it that I didn’t do to please you?

 

So surprised to hear you had changed.

I guess not all dreams are fulfilled.

I always dreamed we’d be the same

Until the end of time…
