Afraid

I am afraid like a child with out his or her night light
not afraid of darkness or failure nor am I afraid of death
what I fear is much worse than anything you can imagine
beyond your wildest dreams and it is so terrifying that just
the thought of it makes me cry I worry about you all the time
or should I say us maybe its just paranoia do I have a reason
to be paranoid I am afraid will you comfort me so I want live in
fear what is it that I am afraid of you ask I am afraid you will grow
tired of me I am afraid that you will leave me can you guarantee 
your Love and prove it I am afraid of what could happen in the future
put my heart at ease are you afraid of the future I am but most of all I
am afraid of losing you
