Grief Sleeps With Me At Night

Still I beg my subconscious for you in a dream
And when the sun shakes me awake
I wince
Grief is the worst when it carries your name on its tongue
Bargaining with God
I plead, I pray
Five more minutes
All things in life are fleeting
Just five more minutes

I was born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska, growing up in a warehouse in Anchorage's industrial district. Now I live in airports and stand in front of cameras.
