Don't Leave Me Alone

Sitting alone in my room,
The emptiness around me presses in,
Suffocating me with the stillness,
The loneliness consumes me,

My heart begins to pound,
The house itself echos with nothing,
I drowned the silence with music,
But the noise does nothing for the feeling,

The abandonment,
I am the lost child waiting for a parent,
I cry silent tears of pain,
When will I be saved from my solitude?

I'm breaking apart,
I can't stand being alone,
My throat tightens and I gasp for air,
Is this what it is to be afraid?

For I am truly afraid,
I fear myself,
What I become when left alone,
The monster that lives inside comes to life,

Please don't leave me alone.
