Evil Little Girl Goes to Sleep

I knew it was going to be a long, long night
Because I wanted to finally make things right
So I prepared myself for the nightmare I needed to excite
And then proceeded to turn off the bedroom light

In the dark...I lay there
Obnoxiously saying out loud, "Come on nightmare!"
I eagerly wait for the disturbing nightly affair
But not without first saying a prayer

In my dream, I see her way in the distance
The Evil Little Girl of timeless existence
Here she comes....closer, with her annoying persistence
Though this time I give her my hand with no resistance

She walks me to our usual place
Back to the memories I can't erase
Back to the same traumatizing events her and I constantly retrace
I brace myself... for once again I'm about to see this monster's face

Soon as she is about to open his door
I grab a hold of her wrist and say..."We cannot do this anymore!"
Immediately tears start to pour
As I screamed to her," What you keep bringing me back here for?"

She says in a voice that was too weird to be her own
"I need you to come back home"
"To tuck me in bed because I can't do it alone"
"I'm not bad; I just need you to help me rest, because I can't go to sleep on my own"

I compassionately carried her up the stairs to her bed
Thinking she wasn't evil at all, I was just misled
I lay her down, and cover her with the bed spread
And I lay next to her, dreading the departure that's ahead

I whispered in her ear
There is no longer a need to fear
Close your eyes and the monster will forever disappear
Because you will forever be sleep here

Slowly, peacefully she drifted away to sleep
Uncontrollably, I began to weep
Feeling a loss that is way, way too deep
because I had to finally let go of a nightmare, that I wanted to keep

But before I walked away, I got one last good look at me
I realize the little girl I thought was so evil, was actually very pretty
I closed the door to the forever resting little girl, Michelle Marie
And I left that dream finally feeling free
to wake up and be the woman I know I can be
