I lay awake at night, sometimes
Thinking, of how it feels
To no longer be alone.

I remember the past
And all the wonders it possessed.
The past had me,

Dreamt of days ahead
Reminding too much of sorrow
Myself, I came to dread.

Alone at night, my thoughts
True companions
In the darkness
To will my sleep.

Kept still in passing hours
Holding yourself, cradling sorrow
Dreams carrying you to safety
Away from black tomorrow.

Keep still, and hush yourself.
Protect the dreamt companion.
Walk in silence
Your own false pride
Amongst this realm, damnation.

I think about the stars, sometimes
Side by side, together.
Candle flames in a world much higher
Beneath, my dying fire.

Keep still, my love
The terror once more come
To haunt you day ‘n day,
Night, your worthy sun.

One star shined to me,
Now, and I felt its light
Touch me.
By way I can’t imagine.

Another star, another flame,
Like dreamt companions.
Who stay with me,
Day ‘n day,
And hush the harrowed night.

Friends, I call these stars.
Friends to guide me true.
From silent stride,
And dreamt companions
To a world,
Filled
With
You.

Keep still, my love
In passing hours
Till morning comes again.
And the stars are dreams
In this world of ours.
That have all come true
For you.
