At those sleepover I'm never sleeping but when 2 am hits you're all out

Like a log

Like a thump

Like sleepers

But one single creak will keep me awake

Because I don't feel safe

No, I feel out of place

I always sleep alone

So when we get together for pillow fights and fun I prepare for an all nighter

But once I wish that

Sleep would come

Safety

Peace

So I can say

Just one time

That I actually slept over at your house

And didn't wander around

Trying not to make a sound

Trying to waste time

Counting the hours till you wake

Then I think back to that one person who would make me feel safe

In his presence

In his arms I could sleep

I fell

I fell hard for this dude and now I can't sleep with anyone else
