Come To Enjoy

I’m afraid of being alone on A shadowy night With a storm rolling strong I’m afraid that you’ll see The man I’ll eventually become And with out a hit or trace Your up and gone It’s the fear that drives me to compete With myself for as long as I see It’s the fear of dying alone Never finding my journey To discover what I’m meant to be It’s your eyes that are there Causing me to stare Through the dark twisted mind set Which isn’t At all clear I fear all the world Cause I’m a little boy I feel the pain and guilt from my personal choice Putting everything at risk I’ve come to enjoy I sleep with the thought Forgetting everything I was taught Losing track of myself Those sweet thoughts of riches and wealth My needs my wants all my yearns and desires Plague me like saddened darkened Fires It’s the loss of a one that turns to another Swept away happiness life it brings For years of solitude have led me to you Now I’m praying for thee That these fears don’t come true For the dreams that I see are forever fear And the life that I breathe though simple & sweet Someday I know will never be complete
