Fear

All alone in this land where I dwell
Deep within the sorrows of my broken shell
You shed such a light unto this dark oblivion
A maelstrom of fear forbidding me to let you in

I love you and this is no doubt
Without you, I could not live without
But every time I reach for your graceful touch
One glance into your eyes remind me of how much love can hurt

And so as the shadows of the past linger out of sight
In a capsule elusive to time
Infecting my thoughts like a merciless disease
Sending my heart into woe and misery

I know you’re not them
And I know your intentions are well
Its just that fear stops me from being a man
And so I run and hide and never bother to tell

How much I love you
And how ill be there through and through
My love isn’t bound to time
Not when it means loving you

I know that I’ve made mistakes
Just as you had done the same

And so I walk pretending to be unfazed
Even when it came to an end
I didn't know where to begin
And without you I lost my place

Maybe its my fault for never letting you in
Perhaps my own demise left me ignorant and broken
But in one lonely night we exchange heartfelt tokens
And secrets told which had never been spoken

for when it comes to this fear so crippling
A venomous pain so paralyzing
A decaying heart silently weeping
All the while held by a face still smiling

Fear can kill the best of things
But fear will never again take you from me
