I just need some time; time to lay with you and count the stars

Bring this whole thing full circle; be your sheep in the dark

The weary don’t need rest, sleep when you die

I know you are tired but it’s only a matter of time

Before your resilience meets the remarkable state of my mind

Eyes wide shut not dreaming of you, or me and not of you and I

A horizontal fantasy gone but lying awake and alone, succumbing but at least you tried
