Please watch me sleep

Please watch me sleep,
Don't remind me of my bruises and how long they'll stay.
Take the portion of my blood,
just allow me visit and enjoy this world of peace. 

I promise I'm yours,
to whip and scare.
Spare me this moment,
please watch me sleep. 

We'll wrestle.
We'll sing dark songs and I'll pay no heed to consequences. 
Try to remind me next time,
please watch me sleep.
