Back to Sleep

Slumber-blind I speak my mind
When I’m out cold (or so I’m told)
And so I’m scared to rest my head in company
You’re not scared of words unsaid
You close your eyes, say your goodbyes
And so I’m left to watch you drift away from me
So peacefully
And I’m just looking for the person
Who will smile at all my questions
Who will tell me I’m just tired, and then send me
Back to sleep
You stole the covers in the night
You turned away, turned out the light
But it’s okay because I’m already miles away
