How do I cure what ails me?
How do I ignore when need radiates from me?
Want things to be the way they used to
How can I get through to you?

Or maybe I shouldn't
Maybe it's better to let dead dogs lie
Rather than dig them back up
And expose your beating heart

What do I do
To resist such an urge
To grab at the shovel
And dig up your heart

For I know it's still beating
Though you're attempting to hide it
I know from the night
That you rose from the dead,
I saw it reaching towards me

But was snagged away

How do I get it to come back towards me
Without scaring it away

How do I
How do I let sleeping dogs lie?
