I still can't fall asleep without a blankey

Even if it's hot, I need to be tucked

Even if I'm tucking myself

Security blanket- keep me safe

I can't fall asleep without my teddy bear

He feels like a soft, warm hug

I still need a hug to fall asleep

Teddy bear is the closest thing to a hug

I'll ever get

I still can't fall asleep without a "night light"

Still afraid of the monsters that may be lurking

Afraid of the very literal monster of a man

Asleep in the next room

Maybe one night I'll fall asleep without a blankey

Maybe one night I won't think to grab my teddy

Maybe one night I'll fall asleep with the light off

But that night isn't tonight

Not here, not in this house
