I am afraid.
Of darkness.
That people,
Will come,
And watch me
While I sleep.
I am afraid
Someone will
Touch me
A slimy
old
creep.
I am afraid
Of close spaces
Of the suffocation
Lack of air
I am afraid
I will be
Trapped.
And no one
Will care.
I am afriad
Of being alone
With no friend
Around.
I am afraid
There will be
No one
To talk to.
No one
To be
Found.
I am afraid
Of proximity
Of being
Too close.
I am afraid
Of being
Touched.
Forced.
I am afraid
Of telling lies
For people
to see through
I am afraid
To be reminded
of what
nobody
knew.
I am afraid
of heartache
of everlasting
regret.
I am afraid
Of sacrifice
Letting failures
Set.
I am afraid
of friendship
Too near
or too far.
To be reminded
everyday
of who
and what
we are.
I am afraid
I will never forget
The mistakes
The failures
The pain
I have
created.
I am afraid
to be struck down
from the love
I was
fated.
I am afraid
I won't deserve
Anything I observe
Friendship, companionship, laughter.
I am afraid
Of not having my,
Happily ever after.
Of being afraid forever. |
