Leigh Ladd

Sleep, sleep,
Come my way.
Let me sleep,
So I can start a new day.
...

There are so many questions about love,
But it is a simple answer, really.
Some guard against it,
Others fake it completely.
...

The coma came and I wanted to shout,
I want out and then they came,
The dreams of death that made me feel ashamed.
...

I told you this would happen,
You had better watch your step.
But I wasn't good enough,
And now with what are you left?
...

I lost my grasp
On all that I restricted.
Misplacing control over my thoughts and feelings,
Now everyone knows too much.
...

You brought out the best in me,
Things I didn't know I had.
You brought that smile,
I had lost it for awhile.
...

Where did you go,
Why does my heart miss you so?
The days are too long,
The nights I am not so strong.
...

Don't let your ego grow inflated,
I'm done with you,
The memory of you has become abated.
...

I'm not naive and I'm not dumb,
I see you standing there with your gun.
You wanted what was best and what was mine,
But in the end only your own death you will find.
...

You will not make me cry,
It is time we say our goodbyes.
The way you get agitated and things that you say,
Today you cannot make me pay.
...

I am not bad,
Nor am I good.
There is something in between,
Imagine if you would.
...

What can I give you?
What do you need,
Something you look for but cannot see?
...

I will let you back into my world,
But first you must get on your knees.
Tell me how sorry you are,
Five hundred times for me please.
...

I did not know that you did not care,
I did not know as you threw me down the stairs,
I did not know you hated me so,
I did not know while lying there on the floor,
...

So much passion,
Incredible heat,
We could set fire to the sheets.
...

Think about the last time you saw my face,
Blue eyes shining with a smile in place.

Think about the last time you held my hand,
...

Forget about the stars and the moon,
Forget that you ever came into my room.
Forget that you came to the side of my bed,
Forget as you knelt and watched as I bled.
...

Which is worse?
I don't know.
Sleep for twenty-three days
Or be awake for them all?
...

I thought about you the other night,
It stopped me in my tracks,
Quite frankly, it gave me a little fright.
...

Look into my eyes,
Tell me what you see,
Look into them very carefully.
...
