I feel you in my dreams every night,
You're always there, just out of sight,
Who you are I do not know,
Nor where you come from or where you go.
You're a mystery woman who haunts my mind,
But no trace of your existence I can find,
Are you a dream or are you real,
For sometimes your presence I think I can feel.
An invisible force watching over me,
Omnipresent being that I cannot see,
Daylight hides you from my searching eyes,
But when night falls I hear your gentle cries.
Whispering soft words in my ears,
I can feel the moisture from your tears,
Soothing the pain that ravages my body like fire,
Those words you say drain my heart's desire.
Encouraging me to let go of my existence here,
Time is ticking and the open door is near,
Your face comes into view and I can see you are real,
As soft breath on my face I can feel.
You are an angel, but not of life, only death,
And you lean over me as I take my last breath,
I finally get to kiss those ruby red lips,
And out of this body my spirit slowly slips.
