Do You?

Do you ever feel alone?
Like no one will be there to protect you from your fears.
When you are alone, you no longer need to hide the tears.
It’s only you and a room, keeping away the outside world.
Soon the door will open, in the doorway stands a friend.
The darkness of night is calling you to come out and play.
The steal blade, heals the wounds of the passing day.
In the shadows, that friend runs so fast you can not keep up.
Leading you out of the room through the door,
But as you reach the doorway, the door slams shut.
Alone once again, until the angel of death 
Lifts you away above the shadows.
