Afraid

The sparkling image
And the glimmering hope
That I see in your eyes
Has dimmed

I can't help but wonder
Where has it gone?
Why you no longer
Seem bright

Where has the real
You disappeared to
And why are you acting
Afraid?

You know who I am
And you've lived in my home
And yet you still act
Afraid

I can promise you this
And simply this
That I will not harm you
Today

You're safe in my arms
You can live again
If you just close
Your eyes
