child

I dont know quite whats happening
and my eyes dont see too clear;
all I know is I need you here,
if only to shield me from the mood of the world
and hold me and say it doesnt matter;
but Im like a child whose dreams are shattered.
Crowding round me, images of broken thought,
lines of my life now overgrown.
All I can feel is Im so alone,
without even your bright eyes to reach into my mind
and say that in my life Ive done right,
and Im like a moonchild in the sunlight.
So cast your thoughts upon me, wherever you are,
that I may feel you close beside me
and hold your hand, for you to guide me
through all these catacombs which freeze me with their touch;
unknowing, knowing so much , my mind cries out
and Im like a child when the lights out
With a childs fear of the dark....
