Reminiscence

Awakened from a sleep so deep 
To the harsh reality 
That again, it was all just a dream 
But it felt so real to me 
You were finally by my side 
And I felt such happiness and peace 
But now I lie here in this bed 
Longing for any kind of release 
Tormented by my own cruel mind 
As it plays these tricks on me 
Making me long for what's gone away 
And never again to be 
So now, I close my eyes so tight 
Against the memories creeping in 
Hoping my dreams won't hurt this time 
And that this battle, I will win

Memories Creeping In
