I'm afraid of the dark
8/30
I don't sleep on my back anymore.
that's when my nightmares come to life
night terrors
you've only sat on my chest once
but that's enough to grind my bones into
corn chowder
so I sleep on my side and
don't look at the door
because if I can't see you
I can promise myself you're not there
and I have enough courage to hope it's true
until the daylight comes to scold me
for being afraid of the dark
but too scared to be ashamed,
I plead for the sun to pull an all-nighter
and it reluctantly agrees
on the condition that I
go to bed earlier tonight
