Smiles and Sighs

Wake me from this dream
while the moon is high
I want to see it gleam
up in the dark sky.

I want to close my eyes
and feel it on my skin
like whispered sighs
after a stolen kiss...

My eyes open wide
and my lips draw a smile
and I set pain aside
and linger for a while...

But smiles and sighs
aren't enough to get by
and my soul cries
as I stumble in a lie...

My heart starts to crack
but I keep it all inside
and I can't go back
but I also can't hide.

I still have to mend
this broken heart
and put an end
to what tore it apart.

The smiles and sighs
will remain as memory
as my damp eyes
will remain angry.

Knowing what love is
was nothing but a curse
But never knowing such bliss
would have been much worse.
