Sleep Tonight, My Dear

For a friend of mine, who is quite talented.

I run, the deep psyche of sadness threatens to drown me, as I see your figure....disappear

The red rain covers your beaten face, and I hope you hold on, and forget your ill begotten fear

I cry, the dark demons push me away, and consume the rapidly beating heart

Turn around, run to me with open arms, before the guilt and sin tear us apart

Desperately looking for the tsuki in the vast desert, the light in the bruised sky

Maybe I could grab it, and heal you, before you start to die

If you're feeling lonely, and everyone seems to hate, then look into an ancient book

Snuggle up into a chair, and read each cranny and nook

What should I write? Before you crawl into bed, 

And sleep tonight

Author's Note

This is not as smooth as I hoped, but I hope Akashi likes this! :) And you, too!

This is very good, different than I had expected.
It's as if I have stepped into the shallows of the sea and as I start to walk forward, a cool refreshing wave crashes down on me, unexpectedly dragging me down into it's dark depths.
As I descend, I see a friendship flash before my eyes, something so unique that it only happens to a few lucky stragglers in one lifetime.
Well done!
