So very close to dreaming,
Inside a brightly woken day.
You're the glue that holds together,
My past; the broken way.
I hate to remember before you,
All I want to know is now.
A flash of dark I refuse to see,
And you help me forget somehow.
The beast of uncertainty often comes,
Yet you never let me down.
Afraid, convinced you'll leave me soon,
But anywhere I look you're still around.
Try as I might to fight and deny it,
Your all I've ever been needing.
Tell the Dr. I'm not sick anymore,
All because of you, I stopped bleeding.
I'm thankful and scared to lose my cure,
And I say things I often regret.
Baby it's me, the sad little girl,
That I'm trying so hard to leave and forget.
Exposed and angry when my book is open,
Pages you've read but I'm so ashamed.
You've got the key to my dairy babe,
And I'm shaking inside to ever be framed.
You hold me tight and we cry together,
You know me so very well.
Wipe my tears and kiss my cheeks,
Keeping my secrets in love's sweet spell.
We argue and then when the sun comes up,
I'm praying for a way to make it alright.
You deserve the world for holding me down,
For understanding me fully; my fight or flight.
