It's sad that people act so bad
you can see in their eyes
Insecurities
They walk around like they
have a hole in their heart
like someone has cut them deep
Oh, no are they in my dreams?
I looked at them
I just wanted to touch them
just to see if they are asleep
but then I just let things be
I can see they are
lost into darken dreams
right along with me
what does this mean?
I run my fingers up along the walls
down the halls
hoping no one is following me
sometimes I could feel
that old coldness
that stands always near
given so much fear
this time I know
something is going so wrong
I feel the heaviness
on my bare feet
then a voice comes out of the unknown
saying, I won't tell your secrets
your secrets are safe with me
you're my friend
who walks with me in this pain
I watched you all the times
you had fallen
enemies are always at the door
But I will always protect you if I can.
