Darkness engulfs the room I lay
Like my mind shadows prevail.
Alone I stay for my sins, the pittance I pay.
One breath at a time, I exhale.
My mind at unease and my heart like a dray
The nausea of life, my dreams it impales.
You held out your hand offering acceptance
And I let go of my past wanting protection,
My soul jealous I walk alone in repentance,
Bury my joy as I fear your eternal rejection.
Like a shadow at noon you return to slumber
Leaving me alone, drowning in absence.
Grab my hand the traumas outnumber,
Without you my heart surrendered.
