You turn down the light,
you know it's time to go to bed.
Because dreading on this page
doesn't seem so worth it now.
You close those green eyes,
arms wrapped around
the letter against your heart.
Your life flashes back
like a little story in your head.
Wondering what happened
to that little boy.
We'll never know.
Tuck yourself closer
into these sheets.
Let the moon rise,
let the stars come out
into another restless night.
Let your mind slip away
under the pillow.
Let 'em run,
let 'em scream,
let 'em be free.
Because you know your better off
somewhere other than here.
Tucked into blue sheets,
knowing your sane
but everybody thinks otherwise.
Let them think what they want.
The demons come knocking
on your door
dressed in white.
I know you want to
push them away,
you don't want to do this
anymore.
Waking up to lies and lies again,
The more they talk,
the more you start
believing them.
For brother.
