Some Nights

Many times you are real to me.

Other times you are merely a memory.

Last night you were a nightmare,

And I could barely breathe.

Being in your presence was enough to suffocate me.

Some nights you are a dream,

And you whisper sweetly from the sheets.

Some nights I am your queen,

Last night I was your enemy.

Some days you are clear to me,

Other days you are a mystery.

The lovers hide in bushes and in leaves,

Trouble hides in memories.

When you enter my mind,

You hide in a disguise.

Many nights you are a fantasy,

Some nights you are a harsh reality.

Last night you were a nightmare,

But sometimes you are everywhere.
