For the fear others left me,
for that is all they left me with.

at one point in my life i was thankful
of that grim and gruesome fact,

but with the days that have passed, i soon regret lovers, friends, and family.

that brilliance has touched my life
that i would do anything and everything
within my power to make you smile
to have someone believe in me

that it pains me when old wounds open
that i strive yet fail sometimes,
to flee my past and the terrible things its left me torn apart.

i see pain within the gentle eyes that once soothed me, and i become afraid.

Author's Note: (I am willing to do anything for those i care about. Someone explained to me that my willingness to care, worry, or even offer help can either hurt or insult those closest to me, and im sorry if i have done any damage. Though i am scared to say the things in my heart, even here, the place i express myself at, I hope my willingness, my actions, show that i care, that you are so special, that you are and always deserve to be treated well...you're not the only one that has a bad past to fight with, sometimes i feel that i need to work harder at letting you know how wonderful you really are.)
