scary things from GIFTS by sannah handoz

i go to sleep every night in an empty room
nowhere for the roaches to hide
beetles and bedbugs all over the walls
mosquitoes make nests in my sides
im ruining every good thing that i love
it's all 'cause im losing my mind
well i snapped and i spit and i fell in your pit
and i screamed that i swear I'm alright

when i'm choking myself in the early dawn
i think it'd be easier to breathe
so in i inhale, but the air's gone stale,
no wonder you're ready to leave
running alone when the moon is high,
i pray to get taken away
scary man in a bush
trade your shove for my push
but i always get home okay

too many scary things to think about
the list is longer than me
will i trip on my shadow? will the dog get out?
will they bury me under a tree?
too many things to feel nervous about
and you're the greatest of them all
will they miss my embrace or my beautiful face?
is the love of my life leaving me?
