At Night

At the days end
When the darkness has settled in
I know it's time to sleep
With eyes closed I do dream
Fairytale princesses waiting in a castle
A prince out on a trek
Though not for me
When I wake up there are no fairies
I have to see what is reality
That prince is on a trek
Following a trail not leading to my home
This time and the next I would be alone
Finding time behind a desk
I think about those images in my head
Of a kiss like heaven
But for that I'd have to be dead
Or maybe just a sleep so deep
Which really only means the kiss would be false
Nothing so pure could ever be real
Yet I still yearn for the moon and stars
It holds those wishes close to my heart
