No One but Me

The fire burns so high

But a cold wind keeps me chilled

The intensity is overpowering

And sadness falls upon me again



In my small, dark space

Nothing but my aching heart

Silent except for my jagged gasps

And the fear of it all



The tears that fall aren't caught by you

Instead my pillow I hold close

And no one's here to hold me close

My body just keeps shaking



My sunny day has just turned blue

And all the black and white just turned to gray

And it all leaves me in a corner, with no way around

Lost in a blurry fog again tonight



I've become mute; somewhere and somehow

I don't know when

My cries went unanswered

My world has spun backwards



In my small, dark space

Nothing but my aching heart

Silent except for my jagged gasps

And the fear of it all

My dearest fear is losing you

And no one feels it, but me

This is so familiar. In a sad way it makes me feel better to know that other people feel like that, too.

This is really beautiful and put together really well.
