'Sleeping Beauty'
The warmness always comforts me as the pillows cushion my head,
I stare at this woman at the side of me, and glance at your golden hair,
I realise I am the luckiest man, to have you lying there.
I'm turning now over, onto my side, and I breathe in your perfume scent,
I touch your skin, so warm, so smooth, you must be heaven sent.
I take you for granted, but I'll love you all the same,
In the daytime I say nasty things, and end up directing the blame.
I hope you know, I love you so, so much that I can't express,
The thoughts of being without you, would leave me so depressed.
I really want you for the rest of my life , for better, or for worse,
I hope I will never ruin your life, with my family who is cursed.
I stroke your hair while you are asleep, and I whisper in your ear,
'I want to live in eternity, and I want to spend it here.'
Alone with you inside our bed, it just makes me so content,
The vows we made on that special day, were exactly what I meant.
We have our rows, but that is good, to me it means we sort things out,
It is better than to watch us grow old, with no opinions, without a shout.
We are so very compatible, we seem to have blended into one,
And here we are, I cannot wait, for our daughter or our son!
I will always try harder, to be that better man,
I will do whatever it takes, and I will do whatever I can,
We will be happy once this passes, this awful place that we're in,
There is a light; I see it coming, although it still remains quite dim.
Who can say what the future brings, or what is around the bend,
There is one thing that is definite, that I will make amends,
I have put you through a lot of shit, and that is all about to cease,
When all of this eventually passes, we will finally find some peace.
This world of ours will be ours for the taking, and we will smile again,
The madness of this crazy life will start to appear quite sane,
The ones that try to hurt us both will soon just disappear,
And you and I can live in peace, my promise to you....my dear!
So I lie in my bed, and I think of these things, whilst you reside in dreams,
I want to wake you up, my dear, and tell you of these things,
But let you sleep is only right....you dream, my precious girl,
And when you finally rise at dawn, you will wake into a better world x
