A dark shadow rises within her
Overwhelming her being
Devouring her soul
Instilling within her, doubts

She had given her heart
To the one man she loves
But does he love her
She wonders softly to herself

He meant the whole world to her
She lives because of him
But does he love her
She ponders over this question

Tears cascade down her cheeks
Soaking her skin
Bathing her in emotions
Her mind reeling from fear

The fear of losing him
Was too much to bear
All she needed from him
Was a little reassurance

But reassurance did not come
She sits quietly in her corner
Knowing well he might never return
Return to her side

Falling into depression and sleep
She dreams of him
Dreams that turn unto nightmares
Of him walking away from her

She wakes with a start
Fresh tears staining her face
Feeling her heart pounding within her
Her lips muttering a soft plea

"Don't lie to me
My heart is with you
Don't abuse it
Please

You mean too much to me
I don't want to lose you
If you leave me
You destroy me

Do you truly love me?
Or was what we had a lie
A deception?
Or a figment of my imagination?

If it was something I did
Tell me
If it was something I said
Tell me

I feel insecure
I feel insignificant
I feel anxious
I feel fearful

All I ask is a little reassurance
That I am still yours
That you are still mine
That we still live for each other

If not, I pray you tell me the truth
And not keep me in the dark
Don't let me be the last to know
Please

If you don't love me
Free me from my anxiety
That I might learn to let go
But I want you to know one thing.

I love you."

And she knows it to be true
That she loved him with all she is
For she had loved no-one
The way she loved him

And she just silently prays to herself
Hoping she was just being oversensitive
And that he had
Loved her completely after all.
