As I hold you in my arms
You start to drift off
Only the pale moonlight
Illuminating the room
Your expression is calm
Filling me with peace
And then I am certain
My secrets will be safe with you
So my quiet voice fills the space
Telling you the deepest of my worries
Of my hidden fears and thoughts
That I keep locked inside me
I can show my love and fear
Rage and bitterness
Sadness and doubt
Despair and hope
No judgment laid upon me
No endless questions
No looks of worry
No awkward silence
I can tell the sweetest of things
Reveal all my romantic wishes
Open my very soul to you
Without feeling ashamed
You listen to it all
In your restful
I've fallen too deep
Into my own misery
For I cannot see the light of hope
This slowly dying heart
Captured by my fears
What once was warm
Is now frozen within
Release me from my chains
For only you can see through me
This darkness taking over
Filling every bit in me
Turning me into something
I was never meant to be
It's rage I can't stop
Overwhelming anxiety
This pain is feeding
The furious beast
I'll tear your world apart
All love turned into hate
As the sun sets down tonight
For you will never hurt me again
It's the darkness in me
Forever free
He can see the world around him
The world doesn't see him
To his friends he talks daily
Hides the misery and pain under lies
He reaches out towards his dreams
Never approaches
He yells, wishing to be heard
They're not listening
Inside his shell he hides
Can't break in
Chains hold him in place
Can't get out
Your sleep is restless
I hear your breathing
Your body trembling still
And cannot wake up
You cry desperately
I can sense your pain
Hear your silent call
I wake you up tenderly
Kiss away salty tears
I hold you against me
In the beautiful night
You open your eyes
Realize I ain't there
Still you can feel me
Snuggling softly
Watching over you
My love will be protecting thee
These inner feelings
I must now release
Cure heart from pain
And set myself free
These chains I remove
From my soul and mind
So I could breathe
Be whole once again
