Alarm Clock

Alarm Clock
Sitting in the dark frightened and lonely
Awaiting the break of day
Alone and scared, the darkness awaits me
Wanting to consume me with pain
The silence splintered
With his soft peaceful breath
Safely sleeping without the fear
Unknowing where I stand now
To waken him would be easy
He'd hold me patiently as I cried
Yet I don't, I won't, I can't
I can't share the pain
The fear is mine alone to bear
I'll sit here and wait
The sound of his alarm clock
Shall be my release
