Melatonin & Xanax

I never could sleep at night.
I never could most of my life.

A pillow never did suffice.
Or stuffed animals or cell walls.
At all.

You held me once and I slept like a baby
But tonight I'll sleep like a man.

I never sleep too tight.
Visions haunted my sight.
My chest would clench like an anchor
that led on down to the shoreline.

You held me once and my anxieties slept like a baby.
You shared it once and I slept like a baby.
Tonight I'll sleep like a man.
