The Shadows of the Dead

It was a hot summer's night,
But,
My Body was so cold,
I thought of my love,
and in my dreams,
and how I held you tight,
then something,
was missing from me,
it was as precious as gold,
then my soul was taken,
and to hell it was sold,
I didn't know,
I was dying,
I knew I wasn't,
feeling good,
I didn't say,
my prayers,
Like my mom,
said i should,
I felt a shadow,
pass over me,
Death was coming fast,
I held you in my thoughts,
as I closed my eyes,
Death was here at last,
I Died,
Remembering  only one thing,
I'd loved you always,
From you I never wanted to part,
and it was you who crucified,
my ever loving heart,
My soul would be set free,
In the shadows to forever ride,
I woke up,
from this dream,
saw my room,
and bed,
looked into,
the lonely night,
and screamed out,
remembering what you'd said,
I told myself,
it was just a nightmare,
and I tried,
to remember,
silly arguements,
like the time you cut your hair,
My soul was gone,
My memory was still here,
I had died lonely,
and with out love,
It was my worst fear,
I blinked,
and a second later,
i saw you in your bed,
I told you how much,
I loved you,
Wanting you to remember,
what I said,
I'll always be here,
thinking of you,
In the shadow's of the dead....
