I knew it wouldn’t work
But I said yes anyway
I just needed to prove
That one afternoon
Couldn’t chase
My demons away
"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
I knew it wouldn’t work
But I said yes anyway
I just needed to prove
That one afternoon
Couldn’t chase
My demons away
After that night I realised
To quell the fears inside my head
I’d get a much better sleep
If I began to keep
A cricket bat under my bed
Creaky Floorboards
Tonight is
the first time
I’ve felt real fear
Being
home alone
without you here
What if someone
breaks in during
the night?
Will I survive
now you’re not
here to fight?

Weeping
againWeathered
by tearsTrying
againTethered
by fears
It’s the
first
thought
I have
When
I
wake
A
desire
so
dark
My heart
starts
to
shake
As the
hour of my
certain
end draws
near
Will today
be the
day I
release
my fear?
Waking
in the
dead
of night
Trying
to choke
back my
tears
It doesn’t
matter
how much
I fight
I cannot
sleep
through
my fears
Do you think
we’ll make it
out alive,
she asked,
hoping for
the truth.
I’m sure
we’ll be fine,
he said,
with all the
bluster and
naivety of youth.
One day
you’ll tell me
and I
will run away.
One day
you’ll tell me
and I’ll
beg to stay.
One day
you’ll tell me
and my
tears will sting.
One day
you’ll tell me
and my
heart will sing.
