Watching the Sleeper

Why is it so hard
To close my eyes at night
When we lay down
And turn off the light.

Why so mean — why won’t you try,
All that I needed – a word, a sigh.
I know this is wrong but a problem for dealing
I don’t understand, that’s the problem I’m feeling.

Then it starts,
Feels like I’ve lost you.
Suddenly starts, soon you’ll be gone.
Scared now, you think I’m weak — knowing you’re wrong.
You’re always leaving, heading out the door.
Try to relax – can’t to be sure.

So easy to sit and watch while you sleep
I know you’re there, don’t mean to stare.
Right beside me where I need you, to be, to keep
Where my mind and you can’t tell me to share.

From you I receive more than you’ll ever need of me.
Like rolling in clover, it’s hard to get over,
The room won’t let me be.
My life, I can’t stay here, all to soon it will be over.

Wake up and smile
Tell me it’s all right.
The feelings, the fear
Were just part of the night.

Wake up, wake up, bright light sent to see,
Never run from the pain.
What has become of the you and me
So be strong for tomorrow, we must do it again.
