slowly breathe repeat the words of your prayers in the darkness
before light enters upon your solitude hold your thoughts close
to your heart

only you understand the trauma only you understand the terror

the hours belonging to the night belong to you you are lost in the daylight fear has blue eyes the same shade as the sky
& you are tired of running, tired of running tired of running

slowly breathe repeat the words of your prayers in the darkness
before light enters upon your solitude kiss sleep fully on the lips
and welcome her into your deathbed growing old is the most satisfying of your dreams where will you be when you next awaken?
