Do Not Set Me Free

I wake at five, the sky's still grey
I feel so all alone....
I stumble through the same routine
The time just seems to drone.
I have to cry, I don't know why
I miss you more each day.

Off to class, I must do well
For I must make you see;
I try to be the best I can
So you'll be proud of me.
Then I miss your face and I can't erase
The pain I cannot quell.

At night in bed I try to cease
The flowing tears stream down;
I feel despair in missing you
Yet you see many clowns.
And who have I to dry my eyes
When I can find no peace?

I feel my heart is chained to thee
Yet you have no such ties.
I cannot be without your love:
I cannot live a lie.
None can compare, please hold me near
And do not set me free.
