I lie here with fear tucked away behind the darkest curtains.

Silence soothes my heart.
The chill puts me at ease.

And with the tears I shed, there is no relief...
Just a sudden sense of reality.

I am aware of the lonely nights ahead of me.
The nights where my bed feels too big.
And my nightmares toy with my mind.

When you're not here, I'm scared.
Frightened of myself.
Of my thoughts...

Behind every closed door lies a secret.
And mine you pretty much know.
But they are still starving...
Eating away at me.
