Tortured dream

TORTURED DREAM

It seems to me when we're alone
I find a place to call my home

Unmitigated time of general bliss
The remembrance of our very first kiss

Being able to watch the world go by
With your sweet soul standing by my side

To know that good times are ahead
In the morning wake not to an empty bed

Soothing , calming , refreshing delight
As our eyes open to the morning light

We let go of our past to welcome a new
Such precious times now filled with you

Caress me now and make it seem
That this is not a Tortured Dream
