Reality from Vision

I could lie awake for hours just imagining your face
And will with all my might for a different time and place
Bail this tortured heart out of its own prison
Make a break, go for broke, create reality from vision.

You could sit beside me hypnotize me with your voice
Everything you say or do realize I have no choice
Like the flow and ebb of tides I will wash upon your shore
Until I’m swept back out again and ache and want for more.

Night brings no relief as you infiltrate my dreams
Hold my mind and body captive ‘till I’m bursting at the seams
Though no negotiator could ever strike a deal
For I’m a willing hostage the way you make me feel.

So I lie awake for hours just imagining your face
And will with all my might for a different time and place
I’ve failed in my attempts to break this heart out of its prison
Still hoping to create reality from vision.
