Sleep With You

I like to believe I can live

in a world of my own,

in my head, all alone,

but I know if I leave,

I’ll be leaving you lonely.

And with you

I am here.

I am clear.

I am aware of your stare

when I speak as though you can read my mind…

I’m trying to make perfect sense.

With your patience,

I know that I can.

It’s good to have steady hands holding my strings,

whenever I become a kite in the wind.

For once in my life I am certain

That it’s gonna be alright.

I love you,

I know it deep down in my soul…

So I’ve been working some damage control

on the holes in my head,

I don’t take them to bed

I don’t sleep with my ghosts anymore.

I sleep with you.
