It’s 10:59

Way past my bed time

You laugh at me

And say goodnight

And as I drift to sleep

I think of what you said to me

Wish I could change your view

Of life, death, and you

So darling hold my hand

You can close your eyes

I’m by your side

You don’t have to be afraid

I know it’s been hard

And I can’t take it away

But I’d love if you stayed

I’ll be right here

No need to fear

“Therapy is scary”

Gives me anxiety

Ha, the irony

but believe me, I get it

Cant see the end to this

But believe me, it’s there

its just that you gotta climb up mountains

to get out of damn valleys

if you can’t believe me

about these things

then at least believe me about this

I hate strangers too

but I was once a stranger to you
