Fear of Loss

Just when I thought I had conquered the pain
Fear steps in again
Taking hold the reigns

My vision's clouded
Nothing's undoubted
Emotionally imprisoned
I'm starting to feel
 Like I'm going insane

Black to white
Joy to fright
There's just no gray for me

My fear of loss
All encompassing me
Wrapping me up in dark

I don't want to lose
But how can I gain?
I can't let anyone in
Or let things just be
Stuck in this circle
I'm aching to be free.
