Night Vision

just lie down
wrap your arms around and be still
don't let go for too long or we will
drift away

i say a little prayer beside you
although i don't believe

night falls
over lids that won't close
i'm wide awake worrying how long
until i say

your highest high is my lowest low
i hide what you show

you had a dream about me leaving
i was driving away on
high roads
with access closed off

with blocked off shoulders
and you were kicking in your sleep
in your sleep

i ride alone
and hide
what you show
