Fear

Here I sit and stare in space
my empty life of a heartbeat's pace
looking for sympathy on your face
I find naught but an empty daze.

I sit and dwell
thinking of a different lie to tell
attempting to escape this hell
I can't count the times I've fell.

Lie after I lie I meet
your face haunting me as I sleep
A love I looked to keep
now emptiness stares back at me.

Empty dread I meet again
I look and find myself to blame
this torment driving me insane
From the depression I tried to refrain..

Into the face of death I peer
seeking release from what I fear
looking for something I can hold dear,
but I will never find anything here.
