Dreamcatcher

I wrote this two years ago but it still interests me. Please know that I (think) I've improved since then but this will have to do until I get more up.

Dreamcatcher

 

The images that haunt me, long into the night

The feelings that disarm me, I’ll never be alright

Won’t I ever fall asleep?

Please let me go to sleep

And in the night, in the dark, when I’m asleep

You’re all I need

You wrap around my thoughts, and keep me safe in dreams

And I have no fear

As I drift to sleep

Because all of the bad ones you keep

 

Wake me up

In the light, when I know it’s all just fine

And I’ll be, what you need, when I’m safe from my own mind

I’d had enough, of being alone

And dealing with everything I gave myself

So I brought you in to my life

But you’re only my best friend at night

 

In the dark, when I lie awake

Too scared to move or breathe

I remember where you are, and I drift back to sleep

And I thank you, cause I know, that I should really be alone

But I couldn’t make it through the darkness of my lonely mind

You’re still by my side

Catching my dreams one by one,

And saving them for a time, when I can handle them on my own
