I'm running out of breath.
I can't believe it's so hard to breathe.
My heart's pounding in my chest
As I wonder if IT found me.
I hide under the covers and pretend I'm invisible.
Then I turn around and IT is still there.
I scream and pray IT would just go away,
I'm running and running, but IT is
Right behind me.
I've been running from this thing for 5 years now.
I stop running and decide to face my fears
Once and for all.
As I stand face to face to what has caused me
So much misery and pain,
I stop.
I look deeper and deeper into ITs eyes.
Then I realize that IT is me.

You left at such a young age.
We had so much to do in such little time,
But now that you died, my world has collapsed.
The day you slipped from me was the day
I slipped from myself.
Since you've been gone,
Nothing has been the same.
I've been locked down in these chains
Like a hallow tree stuck in the ground
And can never be free.
You left without a sound
And left me there to drown.
My pillow was all warm and wet.
I couldn't believe you left.
Now you're gone forever
While I'm stuck in this world of hate
With a heart full of pain.
I wish everything could change
So I could have you here with me,
Instead of you being so far away
Because this isn't fair
That you left at such a young age.
