Silence

This is my world.
An apocalyptic silence hangs around my room.
The sounds of the world are mute.
It's dark outside and I'm staring out of
the window.
Ten past midnight, everybody's asleep.
Dreaming about their deepest wishes and happy
untill the sun comes up.
I'm a creature of the night.
Sitting alone thinking about you.
As I think of you a smile appears, a
profound happiness takes control of me.
But then I return to reality and know
that I'm afraid to show my love for you.
Afraid of getting hurt again.
