My arms are wrapped around you
As you lie by my side
But at all times one eye is kept open
I wait; watch you as your heartbeats become content
I watch as you drift into your world full of dreams
Where you are well
Some days when you wake
I can tell the dreams you have
The waking world is not the same
The reality sinks in
You long to be the girl who you once were
I tell you, no I try to reassure you, you will be once more
Your eyes say otherwise, you are not convinced by my words
It’s hard, it hurts and I get stressed
I get angry with people
They’re not interested in your blight
They’re too busy floating around in their delusional bubbles
Expecting us to enjoy
Watching them go ride off
On life’s fantastic journey
When all I want to do is lie by your side
Wrap my arms around you
and watch you sleep as your heartbeats become content
