Slumber

  Why try to wake me from my sleep
When you know you can't wake me
You know you can't take me
My slumber has lasted for days
Every day, you visit me
You tell me your problems
I lie there and listen as usual
Not saying one word
You go on and on about how he cheated
About how you want to get back at him
But you don't want to upset me
I lie there and listen as usual
Weeks have gone by and you still come to me
My slumber has not crept up onto you yet
Maybe that's why you keep coming back to talk to me
I want you to stop coming so I can rest in peace
