I awoke in the middle of the night
Clutching to you for dear
Life

The first night you never let go
Constantly readjusting
Holding me
Asking me to hold you
By grabbing my arms
Pulling my hands across
You.
In pillow land I thought
It would always be alright
But your silence and stares
Real life had entered.

That first night I thought it'd all
Always be right
But that last night it showed me
You can be cruel
Just by your silence.

I thought it'd be strong
I'd be strong
But I'm just another little girl
Clutching to your torso as
You snore

I could not sleep
Because all I could do was wait
And hope
You'd hold me like that first night
Again and again.
