1
I don't know quite what's happening
2
and my eyes don't see too clear;
3
all I know is I need you here,
4
if only to shield me from the mood of the world
5
and hold me and say it doesn't matter....
6
but I'm like a child whose dreams are shattered,
7
Crowding round me: images of broken thought,
8
lines of my life now overgrown.
9
All I can feel is I'm so alone,
10
without even your bright eyes to reach into my mind
11
and say that in my life I've done right,
12
and I'm like a moonchild in the sunlight.
13
So cast your thoughts upon me, wherever you are,
14
that I may feel you close beside me
15
and hold your hand, for you to guide me
16
through all these catacombs which freeze me
17
with their touch;
18
unknowing, knowing so much, my mind cries out
19
and I'm like a child when the light's out
20
With a child's fear of the dark
