I’ll Go Sleep Over This -Lucas

Lucas fingered the half gold half silver band in his pocket. He pressed the replay button on his CD player, back to song number five. It was the third time he was playing the song.

Over and over the voice had gone on- Baby, baby, baby

When all your love is gone

Who will save me

From all I'm up against out in this world

Maybe, maybe, maybe

You'll find something

That's enough to keep you

But if the bright lights don't receive you

You should turn yourself around

And come on home

His old fears had returned to give him sleepless nights.Slowly he had been pulling away. Zipping himself in that pod Sherry had pulled him from.Shut himself into a world of his own and reduced to peeping out at life from the pages of his journal. Pity.

That now he found better company with his thoughts on page than with people, with Sherry was not suprising.

With sherry he learnt to be frank and honest. Like he had been on the pages. With Sherry there had been no need to write his thoughts down to understand them, he simply stammered them out to the line smiling Sherry.

The song ended, and soleeeya ----began to play. He didn’t know what it meant. Sherry had mixed the CD for him-to help him loosen up-she had said, and labeled it-Lucas loosening up-with a black marker.

Soleeya aa,soleeeeya, the song continued

Lucas took out his A4 size journal and sat himself more comfortably on the floor, to write his thoughts…..
