Night Envy
Location
How I wish I was the pillow on your bed
Where your thoughts are coaxed
From your weary head
Where your soft cheek lays
And you warmth, it stays
And your conscience's troubles all are shed
How I wish I was the evening sky
That listens to your sleepy sigh
That hears your dreams
And thoughts unseen
And gently sings you lullabies
How I wish I was the blanket of stars
Whose light bends down to kiss your scars
Upon whose fall you wish
And sparkle you smile along with
Whose secrets fill the corners of your heart
How jealous, how envious I become of the night
When all you do is within its sight
