The Bell Tolls

Insomnia in love's absence

As the clock ticks
The bell tolls
This time it drips
And hours roll

Replaying your face in my mind
Unable at last to dream
Reminiscing if our bodies intertwined
And your touches evaporating like steam

As the clock ticks
The bell tolls
This time it drips
And hours roll

My mind's imagination running wild
Feeling at last that longing touch
Heart's desire reconciled
That could make even the sun blush

As the clock ticks
The bell tolls
This time it drips
And hours roll

Dreams keep me awake
Prodding me away from slumber
Keeping fresh, reality's heartache
My constant reminder
