If I could be

The only thing

You feared

That would mean

Nothing else would

Scare you quiet like me

Loneliness would not

Have a place for you

Darkness could not

Have a hold on you

If I could be

The monster in the night

Then that would mean

The physical fear

Can be rid of

If I could be

the only thing

you feared

then I could breathe easier

knowing nothing else

scares you quiet like me
