The walls close in upon me this night
Foreboding, gloomy
Stark unfeeling sentinels
My mind races
Memories fleeting
Thoughts of better times
Standing watch against the approaching doom

I search in my heart
My thoughts awhirl
For some anchor
Some point of light
Upon which I can harness my soul
To weather these storms of inconvenience
To keep myself sane in the night

To you
My thoughts
Unfolding
My heart yours I give
These unwelcome moments
To spend with you
Solace to my tortured mien

What Do You Fear?

Are you scared of the feelings that you feel?
Do your problems you fear rattle me?
Do you worry at night,
Waking in fright,
That I’ll walk out that nearby door?
Do you think from you I’ll flee
When hidden are your problems no more?
We all have our problems
And by you I’ll stand
For the door you have opened to me.
No longer should you worry or live in fear
That you scare me so much that I crack.
For your feelings I know are the young girl inside
Struggling to make herself known.
So put your mind at ease
And your spirit to rest
For tomorrow I’ll still be here.
Standing beside you
Showing my love
To the one my heart longs to be near.

Should we dance around this candle
This deep feeling within our hearts
Or should we take a snowball’s chance
And let these feelings loose
To find a love so deep
To find a love so strong
Tell me my sweet love
Could that be so wrong?
