Covered in Lies
I lie in my worm soft safe bed
 Thinking about unsafe thoughts 
 My hands clinging to the pillow knowing my mind won’t stop
 My head is spinning about thinking and wondering
 I can barely see through my covered eyes
 The lies are wrapping around them not letting me see the truth the is in front of me
 Could my whole life with you be a lie after all?
 Could you be lying to me without me knowing?
 You’re the one trying to protect my eyes from seeing the truth
 You’re the one making me wonder and think
 You’re the one making me think unsafe thoughts
 But you’re also the one who lies in my bed and keeps me safe
 I feel your arm wrap around me once again to pull me closer
 I don’t move to the touch of your hand on my body
 I can’t feel the electricity that used to flow between us
 All I feel is my safety net that is filled with lies.
