I saw you
I saw you put yourself between the moment
And me - and suddenly - my sleeping
( when it happens ) is alone
Now - there is me without you, when prior to that moment
When I discovered that I
Need you -
in the recent past, nighttime was wide open
To my dreaming , fantasies of what I SHOULDVE said to this one
What I SHOULDNT HAVE said to that one, melodies
And sublime wordplay, till I faded to black-
Now , having made love to you
I know how you move, and having
Been moved ,
I seem to have lost my equilibrium
At least , I am aware of you , as being
Something now absent -
A tingle in a phantom limb -
Its a problem - another thing to lay awake about
I know that something is changed in how I see things -
I look on at my life, just wondering
Where Im going to put you, if you let me take you home
And right there , is the first complication-
I made my plans, and truth is
I am already structurally unsound , with out
You holding me , when the night
Comes to my close my eyes
My eyes close, and you remain
the substance of my dreaming
