Nothing To Fear Poem by Victoria Ayres

Walk past the shadows of an empty life,
Look at all the fun that's passed me by,
Trip on the lies that I told to you,
Sit down on the stairs and wonder why,
The walls fall down around me,
Demolished by the sky.
Hurtful things, they were done to me,
And they made me scream and cry.

So i'll turn around,
Leave my shadow on the ground,
Try not to hear the sound,
Of the answers I have not found.
And if you decide to come back here,
Don't forget to be sincere,
I will always be near,
You have nothing to fear.

Walk past ghosts of an earlier time,
No longer living, and yet cannot die.
Stare past an angel left in the dark,
I can't believe this no matter how hard I try.
Although it hurts and I wish for these,
I've emptied my eyes, my tears are all dry.
Now as I wander alone in the fog,
I fall to the ground and collapse in a sigh.

Hang the noose upon the tree,
Build a new silhouette of me,
Cry out 'Baby can't you see?
With you is where I long to be! ! ! '

So I'll turn around,
Leave my shadow on the ground,
Try not to hear the sound,
Of the answers I have not found.
And when you decide not to come back here,
I'll know you never were sincere,
And yes, you know I will always be near,
But this time I will give you something to fear.
