my chimera

hold me in your arms tonight
whisper in my ear
and tell me that everythings going to be alright
hold me close
sing me a lullaby
wrap your arms around me
and just hold me

i can feel myself slipping away
fighting a losing battle
just barely holding on

breathless
on edge
struggling to take that next breath

distressed
disturbed
alone
undone
hold me tight
be my borrowed strength for this night

don't let go
coz i just might slip away
terrified
demoralised
distraught

that if i lose my grip
i might never find the strength to come back
be forever lost in never never land

tell me a story as you hold me
take me back in your safe haven

tell me again that everythings going to be alright
that angels and fairy dust are real
tell me that wishes do come true

because now you have me
and i have you

remind me again of the dreamer that is me
call her back and make her whole again
hold me tight as you call her back
give my logic strength
as i reach out to hold my dreamers hand

breathe confidence in me
as we both find the strength to fly as one

wrap us both gently in your song
take from me this weakness and despair

hold me close
don't ever let me go

lay me gently down to sleep
to dream as a dreamer should

so that when i wake to realitys call
i would remember that
..............
as a sign of small trust
i reached out
and held my own hand


as i walked this path
of ephemeral insanity
