I Remember

I Remember

Woke up alone in the dark, emptiness fills my heart.
That familiar feeling of fear has taken me hostage again.
Why am I scared?
I can’t remember.
The fear has washed over me, ceased me in its grip.

I stare at the empty room through half-open eyes,
A tear runs down my cheek; I cry!
I cry because now I remember why.

I remember why I am alone in the dark,
I remember why I’m scared,
I remember why I cry.

I cry because you are gone!
You are gone because I pushed you away!

All I wanted was to love you, but you can’t take the love I have to give.
I remember why I’m scared.
I’m scared because I wonder what you are doing, out in the dark.
I wonder if you’re ever coming back, back to melt away the fear
And accept the love I have to give?
