Embrace

Night passed as I woke again
from livid dreams as fresh as pain
Teasing my mind and heart's desires
with that blonde and his tender smile

Time was sluggish, or so it felt
the end of the day wasn't near enough
The emptiness inside seemed to grow
as I knew that my angel wouldn't show

Hope was gone and dreams were crushed
as I edged closer to my death
The world roared and swirled beneath me
far too busy to notice my grief

A hand on my shoulder brought me back
to a land of love, and joy at that
Through the agony I heard a voice whisper
"You have so much to live for."

I'd heard many times before
in both my dreams and the waking world
Strong arms embraced my trembling frame
I was finally his, the man with the wings
