Climb inside (lost in drafts from a few years back)

Your toes try to find their footing
As they flex and bend, nails scraping
And tearing to get a hold
On the slippery outer surface
Of my mind

You try to peer deep inside
To the depths of my thoughts
Find out all the reasons
For all the words I spill
Onto our dream-filled conversations
Before they go tumbling
Towards obscurity in the night air

I offer you a ladder
And you climb on in
Telling me you're at home
But all I seem to feel 
Is the loss of you.
