Comfort

((Another from my goth days. Sorry.))

Goodnight I say but no one’s there.
I’m filled with deep and dark despair.
I hear your voice but do I dare?
I feel your touch but do you care?

Touch my arm,
Hold my hand,
Tell me that everything’s all right.

I lie awake in a lonely room.
While in your words I hear my doom.
The things you say tear at my heart.
As my new dream world falls apart.

Touch my arm,
Hold my hand,
Tell me that everything’s all right.

Now as you leave me, close the door.
Don’t want your sickness anymore.
I need to cry, I need to mourn.
So I can feel, I’ve been reborn.

Touch my arm,
Hold my hand,
Tell me that everything’s all right.
Lie to me.
