In the middle
Of the night,
My eyes
Both red
and dry,
Are afraid to close.
Afraid to forget you.
You lay there
Dreaming of a better way.
Without me?
Maybe.
With all we been through?
For sure.
Don't put me back.
Don't let me go.
I am awake.
Wide awake.
Don't you understand?
I'm not sleeping.
I don't want to dream of another,
I only want
you.
Always here.
Always by my side.
I am forever scared to lose you.
For this,
And all that is yet to come,
My eyes
may never close.
