Alone At Night
I lie awake afraid of the dreams
I end up waking to my own screams
I have had them too many times before
I am so scared and shaken to the core
I hate being alone in my home
I jump at every sound even one from my phone
I check the locks all night long
I can't stand my husband being gone
I finally start to close my eyes
I know the sun is about to rise
I know sleep is something I can no longer fight
I feel safe here in the light
I end up waking to my own screams
I have had them too many times before
I am so scared and shaken to the core
I hate being alone in my home
I jump at every sound even one from my phone
I check the locks all night long
I can't stand my husband being gone
I finally start to close my eyes
I know the sun is about to rise
I know sleep is something I can no longer fight
I feel safe here in the light
