Dangerous Animals

Been fighting with my sheets,
Nearly crying in my sleep,
Yes, I'm battering that welt-up gripe,
The most frustrating type,
You should have racing stripes.
The way you keep me in pursuit,
Sharpen the heel of your boot,
And you press it in my chest,
and you make me wheeze,
Into my knees you do promote me.

I'm pinned down by the dark.
