Lonely House
The house whispers in the night
sharing stories of when you lived here
Nothing ever feels quite right
There’s no cigars or beers
Gentle arms cant hold me tight
Every day, I cry
Screech owls caw in the moon’s glow
Limbs rake across the glass
I dream of your breath, soft and low
while the hours move slowly passed
And I reach for your old pillow
But you’ll never know
I dream - oh i dream of you
Your tender essence flows back
And your lips, how they soothed
when my nightmares attacked
Now the whole world is blue
In my solitude
I draw your face into the ceiling
with eyes of artistic schenes
And paint you with ivory wings
wishing you’d fly back to me
You can’t leave me in a dream
Its mine to dream
In the morning; comes honey bees
where milk thistle trims the meadow
A hint of cologne swims in the breeze
Your voice; a mystic chello
I know you’ll never set me free
My heart silently bellows
The sun moves behind the clouds
as you draw back into these walls
Tonight the memories will sing aloud
screaming as twilight falls
If I were you, I’d be so proud
I'm trapped in your walls
