Why Is It That?

Why is it that the only time
The darkness comes
And overwhelms me
Is when there's no-one there
To tell me everything's okay?

Why is it that the weight
Is so heavy
And breaks me
When nobody is there
To help me lift?

Why is it that the Demons
Only strike
To consume me
When nobody is there
To guard my back?

Why is it that I'm only lost
When nobody is there
To show me the way
Back
Home?
