my lover, she sleeps - eli.

Oh, my lover she sleeps tonight

Her head on my chest, getting in her rest

While I lie so awake, seeming restless

I can not escape

Oh, my lover sleeps peacefully

Lying next to me, her skin glistening

In the moonlight that seeps through the curtain

Into my room

Oh, my lover is loved back tremendously

She is all I see

How I can not be

For months, or for moments or days away

From my lover, I can not be led astray

For months, even minutes or half a day

From my lover, her loving does not decay

For years, I have longed for a love like hers

Oh, my lover, she sleeps tonight

With her back to me, she does not seem pleased

Oh, I wonder how I let you down

My darling

Oh, my lover won’t speak to me

She seems so angry, but I’m not sure why

Oh, what I would give to look into

Your mind

But my lover is loved back tremendously

When she’s mad at me

I can hardly breathe

Cause I know I’m not good at recovering

But I’m trying

It’s been a month and a week and a couple days

From my lover, she said that she needed space

For years, I had longed for a love like hers

Oh, my lover, she sleeps tonight

In another bed, with another man

How he cares for her not like I could

He does not treat her how he really should

But I guess we have something in common

I know I mistreated her often

He doesn’t love her like he should

But neither did I
