because of you

i was afraid of death

i was afraid of what was waiting for me on the other side

i was afraid of leaving everyone behind

of leaving you behind.

but just like everyone else, you left me instead

and suddenly i wasn't afraid anymore

suddenly i desperately wanted to visit the other side

or stay there forever.

maybe if i slept the pain would go away

because of you

i became afraid of waking up.
