Night has come.
The stars don't shine for us anymore.
I fear the dark,
Will you hold my hand?
I may be blind, but I can feel
And you aren't here.

I am the wounded animal
That you refuse to kill
Even though you could end my suffering.
Your kindness is cruelty.
Spare me.

I am the ragdoll you save for a rainy day,
Collecting dust in a forgotten corner
Because the sun always shines for you.
So I just wait
And wait
And wait
And wait.

I am the wingless insect, trapped in a jar.
You can see in.
I can see out.
And I scream! I scream for help!
But the sound only reverbates inside my glass prison
And the only one listening is me.
You shut your eyes to my visible desperation,
My weak attempts to break free.

Give me back my breath,
My will, my laugh, my freedom, my life.
They should never have been yours to take.
I cannot sacrifice them all for love anymore,
When you aren't even here.
