Night

I see the night sky staring me down 

Like I’m the sunset stealing her thunder 

And I wonder 

If I pass through your thoughts when it’s midnight and you can’t sleep 

And if this was love is this a question I should be wondering as I wake from a nightmare of you leaving 

Me . 

There’s an IV and it’s leaking on the floor 

I watch the blood empty I lay here alone 

As they walk the halls 

Would it help to scream 

Would it help run free 

Would it help if you noticed 

Me . 

It’s a hemorrhage of mascara 

From an iris as the crows circle the crowded sky . 

They say there there it’s alright 

And I’m running dry . 

And the phones been disconnected 

You say it’s alright . 

I fight this mask you wear 

I’ll rip it to shreds to see your fears 

It begins to rain 

There’s a hole in my stomach 

She passes away 

And all the chaos 

Melts like old newspaper ads 

No one wants to hear . 

I’m invisible in here 

If love was a pillow 

Would she be black 

Like the night 

I can’t sleep . 

Save 

Me.
