Just Like A Child

Night has turned its back on me

its now a scary time

I shiver just like a child

and I dont know why

every noise makes me jump

I need somebody here

to talk to me or hold me close

to drive away the fear

darkness floats

throughout the air

in the closet, in corners

it lingers there

It makes me feel

so cold, so small

I start to imagine things

out in the hall

I wish for the sun

wish for more light

hope that everything

will be alright

pray to God

as under covers I hide

childlike protection

I close my eyes inside

wish for the morning

wish for someone

to come in save me

to hurry... to run

The dark is

no longer my friend

I hope that soon

the night will end
