Sing me to sleep
With gentle soul inspired lullabies
With warm phrases that sound like your smile
Beautiful and inextinguishable
Even if I can't hear your voice
I'll feel the breathy ghosts of your words
Against my skin
A soothing reminder that you are still here
When I close my eyes
Sometimes it feels like this life fades away
When I close my eyes
Just like the illusions fade away when I wake
How can you be sure
Can I be sure
Which reality is a dream
Which one lulls me to sleep
Which one beckons for me to awake
Your breathy lullabies contradict it all
Because when I awake I'm in a dream
One in which I never want to wake
Because when I dream I only want to wake
To find you humming lazy perfections
Full of lukewarm undecided inhibitions
And love

I wrote this in the middle of psychology class, I did some good musing in that class.
