Sleep. Come on in. |
|
I would like for you to spend the night with me. |
|
Sleep. Where you been. |
|
I have surely missed you since you've been gone. |
|
I have walked the dirt and seen the clouds in the sky andseen them different in the daytime. |
|
It hurts my eyes to close them cause they only close to blink away the tears that |
|
I cry.Sleep. |
|
Be my friend. |
|
I could use a close one to remind me how to live again. |
|
Sleep. Make it end. |
|
Let me rest and lie beside my tired old bones and hold me. |
|
Sing to me a lullaby on hopes of shutting down these eyes and close out the world. |
|
Force me to dream so |
|
I'll know |
|
I've slept and shelter me from daylights creeping fingers. |
|
Sleep. Please appear. |
|
Show to me your face and tell me it's ok to rest. |
|
Sleep. Help me try, |
|
To put my body down on pillows made out of my |
|
Mama's womb. |
|
Satisfy my eagerness for comfort in this time of worry let me let it go. |
|
When I'm sure the lights are out and sandman throws himself about |
|
I'll trust you again. |
|
Sleep. Say my prayers. |
|
Asking for a place that looks like all the nighttime fantasies. |
|
Sleep. Are you here? |
|
Are you real and am |
|
I snuggling down tonight? |
