Fear

Darks nights I cry alone,
The sobs echoing through the room.
No one asks "Why?"
No one wonders "What's wrong?"

The pain I have felt,
I bear on my own.
The fears I have known,
Are mine to fear alone.

I look out into the night,
I dream of the days I once knew.
Days that were full of joy,
My days of freedom.

Now that you are gone,
I live locked up in a cage of despair.
With no one to unlock the gate,
I live alone in fear.
