In a dream
He's laying next to me
I'm uncomfortable
But not enough
To get up and leave
It's hard to find a lover
Hard to tell a friend
That the only thing worth clinging to
Keeps you in bed
The best kept sentiment
Is best left to rest in your head
Distance and dissonance will surely mend
The heart that feels
Less inclined to deal
With a love so frightening
His heart quakes violently
My cup overflows with dread
And the worst part
Is when he sets the table and cleans his hands
I see then
The face of a father, husband, and holy man
It's the mind that knows
Which thought to fuel
With a voice so frightening
His hands shake violently
As my trembling body hits the floor
It's the soul that pulls
Me off the floor
And it's one more
Before he calls it quits
