Escape

I'm afraid of the dark
Don't shut me in
I'm scared and alone 
Deep within 
You said I could trust you
But all I got was betrayal
This pain is making my heart fail
I don't want you to go
But I don't want you to stay
All I want is to fly away
Fly to a place where there is light
I need to get out and escape this fight
Take me on a cloud make of fleece
Where I can finally rest in full fledged peace
