I Hear Your Voice

I hear your voice
late at night
not quite asleep but
definately not awake
you sound so gentle and caring
yet demanding my full attention.

you call to me softly
at first i don't respond
basking in the thrill
just to hear you whisper my
name again.

You call to me
Though i cannot see, still I follow
where your voice leads.
trusting in you
as if the damage you caused
never existed.

It is so dark
but finally I see you
an amused look on your face
confuses me while you laugh
but still you hold your arms
out to me.

I go towards you
just about to touch
anticipating the feeling
of security and love
I once found in your arms
you suddenly turn from me
and walk away.

the familiar feeling of dread
overwhelms me as you
leave again
I watch helplessly
as the sound of your voice
tauntinly chants my name
goes farther and farther
into the darkness.

The shock and dispair
awakens me fully.
It couldn't of been a dream.
A dream of mine wouldnt
betray me in that way.
In my dreams
you would never
walk away.
But still....
I hear your voice
late at night.
