sleep well

I know how you feel

When you lie awake at night.

I know that silence is scarier

Than your heartbeat

Especially when you close your eyes.

I know how you feel

When panic grabs you by the neck

And tries to drown you in your bed.

I know how you feel

When you want to run away

But you're too tired to even stand

For yourself.

Maybe it's not familiar,

Maybe it's too familiar.

I don't know what to say

Other than the fact that I hope you're okay.

If you're not,

That's fine too

Because I'll be here

Waiting for you.
