Well lit are the hours
Spent dwelling within
Numb
Never shaking the confidence
Of your well positioned wave
It clings to the back of my mind
Slipping it's way around
Flooding my psyche for a moment

A tremble
Gasp

Surely it's only a matter of time
Before
You
Take from me
All I have to let go of
Push it into you

You will regret this
I'll make you feel this

Do you ever feel vulnerable when you're the only one awake

Lying in darkness thinking of what's at stake

All this preciousness surrounding you

Unconscious in need of your
protection

Do you rest with them
Or devote your hours to defend them.
