Medicine

~~You're full of Tylenol but I can't sleep

And then my children here so I can't make a peep

My eyes are low from the meds you know

And I can't help but think

Maybe it's not the worst thing

But then I cry low

Maybe you'll hear my soul

When I wake

I hope there's perfume

In a small room

To help me think

And maybe I'm alive

Even though I'm sad inside

Maybe this will hurt you

A lot like words do

And I know you'll keep your eyes shut

Even when there's sinking sand

Surrounding you

And I'll think I need more medicine

To make it through

No matter what people do

I will always follow you

Making sure you're patient

Making sure you wait

And I hate

That I can always smell you

Even when I miss you

Maybe that'll change

And ain't it strange

That in subtle rain

I can hear your footsteps

Crawling up to me

I pray you'll wake up

That you'll stay up

And keep me happy

I too will grace you

I know this is too soon

But words that say I love you

Doesn't mean a thing

And when you wake up

I'll just be your make up

Making up your day

So maybe someday

You'll repay

Me with growing old

But it's always too late

And I can never see you

Cause you were selfish enough to stay away from me and I hate that these decisions

Is what haunts me today

Along with your ghost

In my bed in my head

I guess life is just meant to be dead

So I lie awake

Nothing to take

Hoping that the medicine

Will kick in for me to hold you

But these whispers

Always seem to miss your

Ways that you would love me

And I guess it's leaving my soul hungry

And no matter how time flies

I could never replace you with medicine
