Fears and Tears


As i lay in bed 
the tears i shed 
people i love are moving away 
how could things go so astray 
soon there will be no one left 
this is my fear 
i try to not let it show 
but how? 
this pain this sorrow 
makes me feel so hollow 
sadly there is more 
as i lay in bed 
i think of this 
while the tears roll down 
i wipe them with a frown 
i worry over the future 
and what tomorrow might bring 
it is scary not knowing 
especially when you are growing 
and my worry is mom 
how can she take this 
is beyond me 
i fear she won't be around 
to see me grow and have a family 
more and more tears are falling 
but the night is calling 
as i fall into a deep slumber 
where in my dreams anything is possible 
but when i wake 
yesterday lingers in my mind 
what can i do? 
but sit and wait 
one thing is for sure 
this pain this sorrow 
that makes me feel so hollow 
won't swallow me forever
