Curse Me When I Sleep

You are the soft blue lake against an autumn sky,

You are the clouds in which the highest birds fly,

You are the soft winds on a summer night,

You are the morning sunrise that fills the words with light.

Your touch is gentle and filled with care,

To receive your love, I could only dare.

I am the parasite that craves your flesh,

I am the mistake- a heart's failed test.

I mean good but I don't think twice,

I only take one chance to roll the dice.

I am not what you want.
I am your taunt.

So curse my body when I sleep,

With dreams of you playing my mind on repeat.

Curse me when I sleep,

For my soul is only yours to keep.

To shatter- or to break, broken or tattered.

Or to fill- with warmth and thrill.

I alone give myself to you,

But I don't have much to give- for that much is true.

Your lovely mind has already been damaged,

And dear, I fear that I do not hold your bandage.

So instead I'll unwrap my own,

I'll dress your wounds and limp back home.

Here I lay myself to bed,

A mess, a monster, a lonely dread.

So curse my body when I sleep,

The blood I'll bleed for you, my heart- Yours to keep.
