Weak

I hide in the shadows,
I dig at the dirt.
My pain isn't obvious;
The mask I wear's firm.

I'm part of a shell,
But I'm coming unglued,
Experiencing Hell,
Because I'm too weak to love You.

Do not loosen Your grasp,
Do not let me go.
I'm hoping time will pass;
I'm hoping love will grow.

I don't even know I need You,
But I do know I'm alone.
It hurts that I don't feel You,
And as though I have no soul.

You can see the truth,
How there isn't much I know.
But begging is all I have,
So please don't let me go.
