Midnight Angel

Haunted dreams with your saddened eyes once more

What are you hiding in your aching heart?

Tears turned jet black from the make up on your face

Why do you wear a mask?

Pain so clear so great in your voice

Words of death and broken skin

You haunt me, make my heart bleed

Make me want to hold you tight

What runs through your tortured mind?

What do you see with your weary eyes?

What is the meaning of these tears and fears

And words I don't understand

Let me reach out and hold you

Take your hand,

your pale palm pressed tight in mine

I'll wipe your darkened tears

I'll heal your aching heart

I'll run my fingers through your jet black hair

And listen closely to every word

I want to understand you

I want to heal your heart

I'm nothing special,

No savior, no god

But it's MY dreams you haunt,

My mind you invade

And I cannot rest until I see you smile

So haunt my dreams one more time

My midnight angel

And tell me, what is on your mind?
