afraid
afraid to be alone
afraid not to love,
not to be loved.
lost in the world
I'm spinning because
I look at you
and you show me what
I want to be.
Out of touch with reality
I'm scared I might lose you.
You make me joyful...hateful
freeze my veins with a smile
thaw them again with a glance
cold, hot, cold again
all in a matter of seconds
pervade me always
try to feel my bones
dig deep inside
where you already were
just not knowing it
still afraid of me
of what my potential is
of what we're capable of
afraid not vulnerable
just nervous and edgy
