My Sweet Messenger Of The Night

how can you speak to my heart

like you know all my secrets?



how can your voice lay me down to sleep

and greet me with the glow of morning?



and how can you make me want you from miles away

and lure me to other worlds with your song?



for how many sleepless nights I've endured

surely I deserve just one night with you



your forceful words like sex to my ears

soft, but strong in so many ways



and dragging me under you sing me your soul

but what good is the song of souls

without the pain of your eyes?



tracing kisses upon your sweet frame

leaving parts of me on your flesh



and we'll come undone and succumb to the truth

we need each other too much to lie now



so remember this parting glance

and the words spoken softly in your ear



"I'll always love you..."
