Child Fears

Its dark here in my room tonight the walls are closing in,
I feel your icey breath on me your shadow moving in,
You breath on me and I become a frightened child again,
Why is it that you come to me, where did this night begin,

What is it that you want with me you never say a word,
The quickened beating of my heart is all that can be heard,
I close my eyes and try to breath and will you from my night,
But the air's to thick to catch my breath in darkness and in light,

Who am I that such a beast as you would come around,
I feel you in the dark with me you never make a sound,
I feel your eyes upon me everytime the sun goes down,
Like darkness to the light I know my soul to your is bound,

You wait for me to close my eyes then fill my soul with fear,
No dream my mind can conjure can break through when you are near,
No tonic, no elixer can bring peace when you are here,
No lover's hand can soothe me when my demon's hand is near.

I get up and walk the floors to shake you from my mind,
As a child I thought the angels would protect me from the night,
But nothing comes for me my demon's grip is much too tight,
The darkness and the fear are all I have until daylight.
