Why do I feel this way?
I’m suppose to be happy
But by and by
I fall apart.

He holds me close.
Tries to keep my two halves
From breaking.

There’s a heavy feeling in my chest
Pulling me lower and lower
Drowning under the surface.

The hard shell that my heart has become
Leads me to the depths.
He reaches out for me
I try to reach for his hand.

I lose my grip, screaming
In terror.
I don’t want to go
Back under again.

The rock called my heart
Lightens at the sound
Of his voice,
Of his touch,
Of his laughter.

But once he’s taken away
I’m back where I started.
Slowly sinking beneath the dark
The frightening yet fascinating dark.

Get me out of her dear one!
Pull me out of the dark.
Make my heart soar to
What I thought were impossible heights.
Make me forget all the pain
All the fear
All the destruction
Of the deathly dark.

Let me lose my heart
Darkened from fear and pain.
And gain a heart
Full of love
For you.

Because I’m scared of the dark.
