Don’t bring the light.
I hide between the sheets.
Cover me up, bury me deep, to
Never wake again.
I hang onto the night.
Let’s forget what daylight looks like,
Let’s forget the other side.
The world’s sheets and there I lie.
Don’t bring fright, for I deny
Anything that could strike,
That could pull me back to this mortal side.
Wrap me up in warmth, dig me a hole.
Maybe this could turn the tide.
A pillow’s fortress where I’ll be left sole.
I’m hiding deep inside.
Please…
Don’t bring the light.
Don’t bring the light

/ December 9, 2012This is great! Such a good flow to it. I know the feeling, like mooselicker said. I love to hide in a dark bedroom, curled up. No place better to escape the world.

/ December 14, 2012I suppose you could lock yourself in – at some point they’ll just HAVE to go away! x

/ December 14, 2012Hahaha, if I stare angrily at them for a few hours, they might just get the message ;). There’ll come a week when I’ll just sleep, sleep, sleep… Sometime!
