Tonight

Tonight, my eyes trade sleep for tears
As I relive the day my darkest fears
Came to life while taking away another
Leaving behind pain like no other
Wound has ever caused...
Our happiness, paused.

Tonight, I feel my racing heartbeat
My restless pulse, my face flush in the heat
So far away from where dreams dwell
I know this nightmare oh so well!
I remember, and I fret
Please, let me forget!

Tonight, my heart keeps crying the same lament
If only I could go back and prevent
That awful day from unfurling
Would it bring back my sweet darling?
Memories blur and melt
Love remembered is love felt.
