Seeking Everything In Fear
I sought all I could with you.
Seeking freedom in my fear,
I found more dread in my bed without love.
I thirst for countless reasons and answers
that could be my way to free my cold feet.
Forgetting my will to need
everything that could carry
me to a place where forsaken moments
can not be my one straight way to forget.
I saw not the apprehension nor doubts.
So I seek what I can with
me; I wish to not become
everything that I could because my past.
Though I am alone, I still know my fright
is just transgressional dismay from my
soul’s starvation for comfort.
Can my path be uncontrolled
without feeling suffering and deep woe?
For I have been abandoned, yet, maybe
I can find redemption by trust and hope.
I sought all I could with you-
and now I exist with shame.
