Fear

If I didn't have Eyes
watching, judging
I would slit my dreams and let them bleed
If I didn't have innocent souls
depending, needing
I would cut my heart from my sleeve
Pierce it with the sharpened steel spear
of selfish hate and greed
choke on unforgiveness, fall to my broken knees
Die with no more witness
Die with bitter shame
Die with no more love from you
while crying out your name
Die for all I have lost
Die for all I have gained
Die for all of the promises
I swear they still remain...
Hope sleeps with patience
but faith disappears
futility breeds defeat
and laughs at all of my fears
Trust blackened and thrusted
upon a pale white skin
Silence stabs the new life
that tries to grow within
Silence murders the new life
before it has a chance to begin
Feed yourself with infinite lies
fear grows hungry again
