It is only dreams I get tonight.

Well I want to be something to her,

But it is hard to feel something

When you are treated like nothing.

What I want don’t count,

Only what she wants.

Well I would rather have none of it,

If all I can have is a little if it.

All I have is me to trade,

My time for her's.

But she has more time for others

Then she has for me,

So I would rather

Share no time

Until

I can have the Lion’s share.

What is the Lion’s share you ask?

Anything he wants is his share,

And that is the share of me

That I would give her.

Alas, it seems

She wants nothing from me

That she is willing to give

What I want.

So, all or nothing

Leaves me with nothing.

I have no power to coerce,

I only have hope that she

Will come to want me

As I want her.

Dream as I will

Dream as I might

It is only dreams I get tonight.

Why nothing as opposed to

Something, you ask?

It is just that having

Just a little

Leave a great hunger

For more.

While doing without

Keeps the hunger at bay.

So better nothing at all

Then to accept her crumbs.
