slowly my mind wanders, seeing what it should not
pain seeping through the cracks of sanity
but how does the mind wander so
in a world that I do not wish upon anyone
now I lay awake at night
staring at your beautiful face
sleep is all I desire
and you are at peace,
envy, love
and I put my arms around you, holding you close
sleep my love and forever remember my mind
