Lesa MRK - My Haunting Dreams

The night is serene as I lie in your arms;
My thoughts peaceful and full of bliss,
Until a vision of white penetrates the mind,
Then I am forced to recall unhappiness.

I try to close my soul to the memory of,
That threatening dark shadow which lingers above,
Reminding me of a forgotten past,
During which I stained my hands with empty love.

My heart relives the pain of many years passed.
And although I long to turn the dreams away,
They often walk back to haunt me,
And take me to another day.

If I close my eyes and pray with all my soul,
Maybe kindness will take the dreams away,
And sunshine will fill this weary heart,
Which longs so deeply to live only in this day.
