When I lay me down to sleep...
was a prayer I hoped he'd keep.
Now I lay me down, I weep
so often, I cannot sleep.

In my dreams you pass me by
so often, I sometimes cry.
You look the same but it's
a game, I wonder if you ever
call my name.

When I lay me down to sleep
it's a prayer I hope you keep.
Don't pass me by, or soon I'll
cry. I wonder if you called my
name, I thought I heard, is it
a game?

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray tonight I'll not weep.
As you pass me by, I'll only
sigh for it's the same, it's
just a game.

Welcome to Passions!!!!!!  The game of life and love takes on many twists and turns....it is how we handle them and the speed at which we take them that defines the outcome.  Nice read.....look forward to more.

very nice.  I like the repetitiveness but the way you twisted it each time.  Lastly, and with much fanfare as is humanly possible over the Internet........


WELCOME!!!!

Unrequited love sucks.
