Beautiful Sadness

i fall but i wish i could stand
please help me to come down
with my head in the clouds
and my heart on my shoulders
i cry out loud, all alone
dream with me a dream
of being together, being happy
just close your eyes and sleep
sleep so peacefully
and maybe you will awaken
and the pain will be gone
sunken into the pits of sadness
you are so beautiful
so beautifully serene
with your shiny tongue
and graceful words
but me, i am alone
on the brink of solitude
please help me to come down
down to your level
