loneliness breezes in in the morning
             anxiety shuffles in right about noon
                          depression is quite fitting in the dead of night
                                       denial coming up soon

sleep well
dream on
when you fall asleep
i'll turn the lights off
but i'll stay here for now
cause i see you're afraid
won't let the monsters get you
i'll pull you close if you start to shake
i'll be here till your eyes
give up and close
i'll be here until
you are comatose
i'll be here
until i know you are asleep
then i'll tuck you in
and try to find my own peace

you keep asking why I didn’t
hit you up, call you back
left you on read

like what was i thinking?
don’t i love you?
i was focused on the what ifs instead

like what if this is pointless
and we fight for nothing
are we loving only to lose?

i’m just not sure what i want
i am not doing this
just to hurt you

.
                                     please
                            i said please
            why didn't you listen?
                                                         ­                i swear i didn't hurt you
                                                             ­            that'd hurt me
                                                              ­           too
                                          but
                            you hurt me
    why would i lie about that?
                                                           ­              it was supposed to feel good
                                                            ­             at least it was for
                                                             ­            me

you don't scare me
is a lie
you don't scare me enough
sounds about right

i'm okay
isn't completely true
i'm okay for now
is more realistic
and a little more honest too
