Close your Eyes

Close your eyes,

Sleep away your tears.

Close your eyes,

Dream away your fears.

When you come back,

I'll still be here.

When you come back,

I'll still be here.

Let the Storm be a Lullaby.

 

 Keep crawling in blankets too big for you to hold.
Keep picking roses that bleed with their sharp teeth.
Keep fingering the waves in your hair,
Keep pretending that I'm not here.
Keep your promises, not your lies.
Keep your hellos, not your goodbyes.




Exhale words through your fingertips.






Try it.
