Frightening

Feelings of terror

Rooms of confinement

I keep trying to forget

Giving myself, my love

Hold me, secure me

Thoughts of aloneness

Entwined in a black, quiet place

Night comes to me, I need to escape

Ignore the fears, deeply hidden

Nothingness is a safe place

Go inside yourself, alone and silent
