Sleep

Jo Middleton

Open wide and I can see
But there's dark over me
I'm blinded by the lack of light
Scared, so scared of not much height
I can't fall, my feet are touching
But my knees are sh-aking
Can't even see you from afar
Just because its so dark
I'm stilling wondering around
My head is a small wonderland
Waiting for you to grab me again
For surely this isn't the end
I'm sleep walking all the time
Wishing I were awake, glad you weren't mine
No purple marks fade my skin
But an emotional blue skin
Invisible scars line my body
Every time you cut and hurt me
So why won't I wake up from this nightmare?
Block you again, it isn't fair
I'm consumed to poppies and roses
And little big baby noses
Apparently I have no judgement
For here I am in love with your softness
You're covered in jaggered knifes
Pricking my finger, making me want to end my life
I'm not blaming
Only descending
Don't think I'll ever wake back up
I've stuck myself in all this muck
Until the day the miracle comes
Collapse effortlessly, then I'm done.
