turn off my mind

shh.

don’t make a noise.

don’t say a word

as you climb into my heart.

if i hear you,

if i start to see opportunities of self-sabotage,

my mind will wake up.

and then

everything

will

go

wrong.

explore every inch

of my heart

but don’t ever come close

to my mind.

it will say words it doesn’t mean.

it will drive you away.

it will make you

hate me.

i don’t know what i would do if you hated me.

so please, please,

please,

don’t utter a word

as you sleep next to my soul.
