Fear

I fear to touch you
With these hands
Fear that you may turn
To a pillar of sands

I fear to love you
With my heart
The weakness in me
May tear you apart

I fear to hold you
Within my soul
Never knowing
If you’ll return whole

I fear to let you
Inside my mind
Scared that you’ll be repulsed
By what you find

I fear to behold you
With my ardent gaze
That your eyes may see
Through my deceptive haze

But to love is to fear
And fear this I do
Shall I ever utter
That I love you?
