And so tomorrow I'm sleeping with my television on
I understand the fear of all that silence
all the space above your bed transforms into a darkness that might as well be made of iron,
you just feel so closed in
and then there's all the inner noise
your voice inside your head, saying all the words your mouth couldn't form
all the fears from your day you tried to graze over
all the echoes, all the shadows, all the sad songs on the radio
thoughts that have an extra energy, a special jolt in the way they invade
no matter how tired you are, closed eyes are the best you can do
restless body, tossing, thrashing
sheets and comforters being no comfort at all
you need skin, human contact
you need it to reassure you you are still awake
that there is a distinction between this and the fantasy of dreaming
can your reality be a nightmare? or would that imply it's something passing, over in a matter of minutes
if he were here i wouldn't be so unsure
if i had a whisper in my air, stubble scratching my lips
then I'm sure I'd know the difference
the spiral is our choice now
