Leave The Hallway Light On
Mother please leave that light on.
Especially if I’m going to put myself to sleep alone.
Brave there was no sign of sleep.
Like a bird with broken wings forced to fly.
Out I would have never known.
In the company of the imaginary ghost and monsters me all alone.
Sometimes sleep became two or three times of painful waking.
A little monster in the making.
Especially if I’m going to put myself to sleep alone.

Like a bird with broken wings forced to fly.
Out I would have never known.

I used to sleep with the hallway light on when I was little ... this took me right back there ...
