The Pain Of Being Me

Soothe Me

I thought I was fine
So I don't know why
I wanna crawl up in a ball and cry
Why I'm finding it so hard to sleep at night
Maybe because your voice
Isn't with me tonight
The soothing sound of your shushs and your snores
Our conversations that were never a bore
They say its something more
When you talk late at night
But you were the only one who made me feel safe in the night
The sound of your laugh so very bright
As I would doze off in your endless words of nothing
And even though you were never here
In your arms I felt I slept all night
And I know they could never understand
They would never let it happen
But I need your voice to soothe me again
As I cry to be in
Your metaphoric arms
