Better off

"Fly me away,"
...all I used to know how to say
"Take me away. Let what may be, let it be."
But not until it happened to me

Frightened and Afraid
Isolated and Away
All the fears will come out
When you try to sort them out
Seeking a way to grow up and change
But innocence is lost with every passing day

"Take me home. I want what I know"
A little girl will plead,
"I don't want to be here, but I want to be free!"
You need to stay for any of it to change,
"Well, then I think I want it to all be the same."

"I want to know the names of all the places that I go,
And all the faces that I see,
Even if that means that I'll give up this part of me,"

"Okay, I've decided. There's nothing left to say."

Take a deep breath. Take it step by step.
Take it to the end
Take it even when it bends around the corner
Where the unknown is next.

This is best... This is best...

the shelter of my single bed

cold, shudder
cuddle under covers
bury into me
(don't even leave your feet free)

breathe in the night
breathe in the sight of you
closed eyes, tight for the light of dreams to shine through
(to guide you, nevermind you, its all unconcious anyway)

we begin again today and tomorrow and the next
until goodbye is just a mornings breath
not a whisper in the night
between the blinking of four eyes at rest
