You left me
To face the dark alone.
Now, without light,
How will I make it home?
I'm scared of the dark.
Afraid of the shadows cast.
Feeling the fear
Of my broken past.
I can't stop these falling tears.
Swept away by my childish fears.
As I close my eyes, I long to hear.
But everything seems so unclear.
I remember the monsters that lived under my bed.
And the frightening thoughts that filled my head.
As it all comes crawling back to me.
I see the face that's haunting been me.
Looking back, through all those years.
I can still recall my childish fears.
Beautiful lullabies, I long to hear.
To stop my everlasting tears.
Father, can't you see me?
Mother, can't you hear me?
Why do you seem so far away?
Father, won't you hold me?
Mother, won't you sing to me?
Please, before I fade away?
I'm broken and I'm bleeding.
I'm hurting and I'm screaming
I close my eyes and I'm dreaming
Of a lonely place.
I'm all alone and I'm crying.
Tired, yet I keep fighting.
It's too late; I'm dying.
Then I see your face.
Suddenly, all becomes clear.
I cry my last tears.
I do not see, nor hear.
As I give into my childish fears.
