A spare dream

 

Do you have a dream to spare?

My sleep is empty

without you laying here,

without you holding me near

my head is so empty, I fear.

I used to see such vivid pictures,

movies of untold colour

amidst those midnight neon highlights,

but now I see blank

screens staring into me

seeing nothing gazing back.

I fear my sleep is just here to pass hours

without your comforting breath in my ear.

 

Do you have any wishes to grant?

I'd open an account

in your magic bank

and withdraw every penny

just to wish to hold you dear.

Because life feels so empty

without you here,

and I fear that if I close my eyes,

I'll blink from existence,

fall right off the brink

into the abyss, to have never witnessed

the beauty that I never want to let drift.

 

Do you have a spare dream

you could share?

Just a snippet of a memory,

doused in the perfume you wear.

I would be happy just to be there.

I don’t want the starring role,

I'll be a bit part background actor

whilst you hold the world enthralled.

I just want to never miss those moments

where the light you emit

outshines the sun,

giving you the spotlight,

making this earthly stage your own.

 

Do you have any

wishes you could grant?

I'd find every magic lamp,

I'd cover every continent,

content in seeking the right one,

if it let me see for a second

as you glare as bright as you can.

I'd throw all my coins into every fountain,

every last penny I have

I'd cast into the waters,

if it would just give me

a single moment by your side.

And as the ripples slowly subside,

I'd drift into the night,

with the imprint of a kiss

to make me feel alright.

 

Do you have a dream

that I could exist within?

Just a misty recollection

of a summertime swim

where all your hopes

and love can pour in

and I can feel them all stroking my skin.

I'd be happy to be there

in whatever scene you can create.

I just want to witness your energy

every single day,

but even just a second

would be a moment

I could hold tightly

for eternity.
