I am hiding
In my own small cave
I will not come out
I will not leave this shell of me

I am to remain here for as long as I can
I do not want to face the open breeze
The air is too cold
The earth is too cruel

In my cave I am safe
No one can get to me here
No one can hurt me

But safe does not always mean happy
Should I choose to forsake my cave
To forsake my safety

I am in a cave
It is dark and lonely
Lonely and safe from heartache
