DisTrust

As you lay and slept without a care
I stood and watched you sleeping there
As soft sweet dreams lead you away
and the winter wind causes leaves to sway
Gently I place myself at your side
Where I can relax, nothing to hide
And yet
Still some creeping darkness grows
Beyond the window's summer glow
An ice that barriers cannot contain
That bears on love like a speeding train
And yet
Still I hope by some small chance
There's still time left for one last dance
Though I know you're no longer mine
Still I hope, still I shine
