Sometimes when I’m alone

I shake from fear and weep

In tears I hears scary sounds

I so wish I had no ears

Sometimes when I am alone

I wish you were there to help me

I stay and I wonder why you left at first

Sometimes when I’m alone

I fight this fear

I just feel like this isn’t life

I feel like hiding my feelings away on a shelf

I feel like I’m not myself without you

Sometimes when I’m alone

I feel like I will fail in life

And fall far from faith

Sometimes when I’m alone

I sit next to the door

Hoping you will come back for me
