Afraid

I'm afraid of not being enough Of laughing to loudly at corny jokes Of reeking to much of the cigarettes I smoke I'm afraid of not smiling as much Of crying and black tears staining your sheets Of giving you everything I'm afraid of a broken heart Of never being able to put back the pieces Of lying helpless on your chest unable to speak cause my lungs have finally collapsed I'm afraid of that spark I feel when your lips are on mine Of that sudden electricity running through my spine Of all the butterflies in my stomach turning to spiders I'm afraid of loving you But I'm tired of being afraid
