When I Sleep

when i sleep
i dream of you
but i wake up alone
i am so confused

just hold my hand
tell me it's okay
if the darkness comes near
lead me away

so scared and so helpless
like a little lost boy
riddled with sorrow
not overflowing with joy

"get up, you pansy"
my mind says to me
"come fight the good fight"
but it's too dark to see

so i lie there in bed
just thinking of you
...

i'm not finished with it, but i'm workin' on it.
