Walk beside me tonight

By burning ember85

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I know it’s late and you’re probably sleeping But then again I guess you’re always sleeping I just need you for a little while, a few moments will do So if you can, please walk beside me tonight Our star’s out, it’s so bright And you probably have an even better view than me It’s great how it’s always there to comfort me But God knows I’d much rather have the real you Because the stars can’t talk the way you used to Laugh and love the way we used to It seems like I’ve been staring up at them forever now There’s so much pity in their fiery eyes I’ll let you go now, it’s time I get back anyway It’s too cold to be out here alone I’ll pray for you again tonight, like last night and the night before And I’ll see you again someday soon, I know it’ll be soon I know it’s too late and I wish I were sleeping But then again I wish I was always sleeping Like you, with you, for more than a little while So if you can, please walk beside me tonight Written August 25th, 2001 © on Aug 25 2001 07:40 AM PST   0 • 8
