Blank Page

Draw the curtains baby
You can't tell anyone I'm here
They'll find me, they'll take me back
Hush I have you safe
Rest your eyes for a while
I'll sit with you, rock you in my arms 
I see too much baby
I go too far in
They capture me, these words
Hold me on their grasp
Make you disappear off the page
It's just words my love
They can't hurt you, don't believe them
They can't erase me from you
I'm sleepy, too tired to think
Don't let me sleep though
That's where they get me
When I can't fight them

That's when they write you away
