Lonely Tears

Dark shadows reach out in the night,
no matter how hard I try and fight.
Cold hands reaching out from the past,
reminding me how it ended last.

Terrible thought in my brain,
causing insecurity to remain.
Doubt rearing its ugly head,
fear, the companion in my bed.

A voice saying this is just a joke,
and my delicate heart will be broke.
If this is a game, tell me now,
so I can stop my feelings somehow.

Don't be afraid to tell me what's real,
reveal to me how you really feel.
If your feelings are not serious for me,
please tell me know so I can be free.

But if your feelings are pure,
please understand why I am insecure.
I have been hurt in the past,
and fear of that pain still holds fast.

I want so much to trust in you,
I just hope you are being true.
All I want is your honesty,
so share your thoughts with me.

Help me put these fears to rest,
help me pass this untilmate test.
Banish all my doubts and fears,
put an end to my lonely tears.
