Just look at her sleep.

As i lay awake just watching you sleep, you’re far away dreaming of all the places you want be. Oh, that smile is so contagious, even when we are in different realities yet physically side by side.
You and i have been through so much, some might say too much.

We’ve come so far, from the biggest smiles we’ve ever smiled to the forced ones that are just a front. 
This guilty conscious of mine has got the best of me, yet again.

I’m up for days, “I’m worried about you.” is what you say. 

“I’ll be okay.”

The sweetest lie said, just for you to lay your head back down and go back to bed. 

I know you worry my sweet love, I worry too.
I have hurt you one too many times.
The good you see in me, I haven’t a clue how it’s even seen.

I think maybe I’ll see it in time but the voices scream.

“Who am i kidding, that’s unlikely.” 

You’re so understanding, how you continue to be so comprehensive of the mistakes i have made is beyond me. Mistake after mistake, you’re worth so much more.

“Why me?” i ask.

I see it in your eyes that you just can’t explain it.
Maybe it’s one of those things that doesn’t need an explanation. 

Just look at her sleep, still smiling that contagious smile.
It’s only brighter now, I understand now why she says..

“I love my sleep.” 

She dreams of places she wants to be and she goes.

She dreams of people she wants to be with and they are there.
She loves her sleep, she loves to dream. 

Now i see, now i understand.

I’m the nightmare that keeps you up at night, the monster under your bed ready to pounce when given the chance.
I’m the shadow in the corner lurking, waiting to get you.

I am the fear of darkness, the true definition of hurt.
Now i see, now i understand.
She rather sleep, she rather dream, just to get away from me.
