Hold me while I’m sleeping

Protect me through my dreams

I want you always next to me

Waiting with open arms

In a time where we’re not open

Where a lie is almost truth

I yearn for your sweet embrace

So put my mind to rest

At night I am beset by dark

That holds and squeezes me tight

It takes away my courage

I strive to reach your waiting arms

You who is the light to me

I cannot seem to convey

Just how speechless you make me

As I await your next appearance

My kindness for you flowers

In hot and arid plains

Where the only living things

Are the buzzards picking dead

Come to me, I’m waiting

Waiting for your hold

Please take me into your heart

Hold me while I’m sleeping
