I Need My Lullaby ~

I lie awake tonight
Tossing and turning for hours
Tears washing down my face
Longing for what I can’t have
Love, can you hear me?

I need my lullaby
The sound of your voice singing in my ears
Taking away all my fears
Maybe I could fall asleep tonight

But this trembling keeps me aching
Shadows of my fears stalking me in the dark
I stare up at the empty ceiling
And it feels like I’m being smothered
Love, can you save me?

I need my lullaby
The sound of your voice making me smile
Giving me something to think about
Maybe I could dream of you tonight

All I have is a memory
And a promise
One of a whole that I keep close by
But it doesn’t compare to what you make me feel

I need my lullaby
The sound of your voice lulling me to sleep
Taking me away from this reality
Maybe I could find you in this dream world

Tonight, I need my lover
I need your lullaby

So for the next month I'll be going staying four or five days during the week at UNT for this program called Upward Bound. :ohnoes: A short explanation of it is that it's a college prep program where you take classes and stuff. :nirvana: But they have this summer program where you stay in the dorm room during the week and go home on the weekend. No internet and technically no laptops (but I smuggled mine in so we could watch anime. You have to have password for the internet. :pissedoff:) This is for a whole month. :faint: :cries:

Anyway, I stayed there the first week and I'm exhausted. :( I was stressed and homesick. Honestly, I really hate this but I don't have much of a choice. But the first night I was there I called my girlfriend Jessika. :heart: She told me it would be okay and I felt somewhat reassured. :hug: But I couldn't fall asleep that night, couldn't call her, yet the words just kept floating in my mind persistently. So this song is for her. Jess I miss you terribly.

Please comment and give me some constructive criticism. I may not answer immediately. But I hope everyone has a great summer! :butterflytwo:

"RAINBOW!"
"A rainbow? Where?"
"No, she means L'arc~en~Ciel."
"What the heck is a L'arc~en~Ciel?"
"A rainbow!"
"No, it MEANS rainbow."
"......"
" *sigh* It's a French-named Japanese rock band."
"....the rainbow is a French-named Japanese band? Cool."

Thank you. :3 Unfortunately I broke up with this girl a few months ago but this is still one of my favorite pieces.

And yeah I hated that program but at least it's over.

Thanks lovely. :heart: I haven't been here in quite awhile so it's nice to know that I haven't totally lost my touch. :hug:

I might make a new account. I'll let you know if I do. But I really need a change.
