Beside you I lay

Beside you I lay,
slowly drifting away
into an endless sleep
I'm falling
I'm calling
but no-one hears me screaming.
Falling faster
screaming louder
Toward the abyss,
Nothing but emptiness.
Can hardly breathe
suffocating.
I hit the ground
my body aching.
I see your light
I feel your soul.
Hold on tight
Don't let go.
I'm losing grip
I feel you slip.
I fall back down
It's dark again.
I'm getting cold
I've lost all hope.
I feel your breath,
I hear your voice.
I think I'm sleeping,
I must be dreaming.
You shake me,
You wake me.
Beside you I lay,
slowly drifting away.
