I Am Your Child

                             You were the want of my heart from the start.
                             You are the dream I have that I'll never have.
                             You are my life, the one I'll never live.
                             In my dreams, both night and day, it is you;
                             and as my days are consumed by the night
                             my life takes flight as my dreams come alive.
                             It is in my sleep that you meet my heart,
                             at night I hold you tight, there you are mine.
                             It is there that I can caress you hair
                             and kiss the lips that I'll forever miss.
                             This is the place where my heart doesn't break,
                             as sleep takes over I can breathe again,
                             dreaming my life of bliss and happiness.
                             As the stars depart and the new day starts
                             I awake into the arms of my death.
                             With dreams still fresh as the sun steals my breath,
                             loving you is what brings me through the day.
                             Dreams are but dreams but my passion is real,
                             I love you; you are forever my life.
                             There is no greater care for me than you.
                             My joy torn apart never to restart,
                             cherished memories of what never was,
                             but my dreams of you will forever be.
                             I am your child born from you and named love.
