LET ME SLEEP

My chest feels weak, I watch you pull yourself away. A few inches apart, yet thousand miles away. Don't hurt me.

Please don't make me suffer

For all the stabs and stings digging into your skin, I feel a thousand more piercing my own. Your cuts sting me more. How do I tell you, that the muffled cries you whisper keep me awake, even though you lay a thousand miles away. My chest feels weak, I watch you pull yourself away.

And it's hurting me. . .

Please don't hurt me

Let my shirt soak your tears; let my fingers wipe your tear stains. I won't hurt you, I won't ever leave. Please just keep coming back to me. I'll always wait for you, no matter how times you hide yourself away

'Are you okay?' You ask me, even though your lungs burn, your head aches.

I hide my tears away

I can't feed you lies, nor let my demons become a trouble for you.

So I smile, I crack a joke, and simply say 'I dunno'

You know I am not fine

But all you say is an "I hope you're okay"

I wish you'd rather hang me in your heart, like a portrait against the dark cold walls all deserving to be loved. . .

I love you

A lot

You a mean a lot

To me

And I've fallen for you

Without even realisin'
