dreams

the dreams are back again.

my thoughts always seep into my dreams.

i didn't get out of bed for a really long time today. drifting in and out of sleep, in and out of the haunting dreams.

oh i laugh by day
and i cry by night
i pretend to each friend
that my world is alright

they know you're gone
and they see
how i feel deep inside
but they're kind
so they're blind
to the hurt i can't hide

yes i laugh by day
when people are near
cause what else
what else am i to do

oh but i cry by night
all alone with my tears
for the want
and need of you

till you're back
in my arms
nothing's good
nothing's right
i may laugh by day
but i'll cry
how i cry by night
