I'm Afraid (Thank God)

Before slumber as I lie on old sheets that need washed

Wiping away some crumbs left by my creation

I close my eyes and wonder at it all

I wonder about you, because you

Have become my all

 

And I'm afraid that you complete me

There is a hole that you have filled that

I did not ever even realize I had inside

A void only you could give a name to

 

And I'm terrified I'll lose you and the hole

Will remain forever emptied in your wake

Left barren to bleed slowly, an  incurable wound

A wound no one could create like you

 

And I'm lost in these pessimistic thoughts

Sometimes, just lying here awake

A few times, I've thought to run away

To lock my feelings up in that old rusty cage

 

But I'm afraid that it's too late

For the feeling isn't going to die

I'm not able to push it back

It is stronger than my concious will

 

And though I'm so terrified by you

I thank God for you, every day

No- every hour

No- each moment

I'm alive
