Philophobia (Collab with Erenn)

It doesn't matter how hard I try

I never seem to get away

Cause after all you did to me

I fear these feelings will always stay

 

*Your lies I believed were the truth beneath

The pain recedes but the heart bleeds

My instincts were right all along

I’m just a part of your love song*

 

You see, I live my life in fear

Fear I won't succeed

And every small critique I get

Makes me once again recede

 

*My Iloveyous to you were inevitable

Like the sun emitting his ardor

Despite the moon in slumber’s nocturne

He shines brightly with fervor*

 

I live my life, always afraid

That I am not on the right path

And if I take one small misstep

I'll have to face somebody's wrath

 

*Time consumes me while I waste it away

Like grains of sand as I clenched and ran

Only to lose it

Again and again*

 

I am eternally scared

That all my judgments are wrong

And if I ever meet someone

They'll only like me for so long

 

*But then I met you out of the blue

You were trying to forget someone too

We sparked like fireworks in the night sky

But the fire burnt out and our colors faded hue*

 

I live my life in constant fear

I fear that you were right

I simply am not good enough

And I will not be alright

 

*Thank you for proving me right

That we were not meant to be

How could you love another light

When I was the one your darkness pleased*

 

But even worse than all these things

Is my terror that someday

I will meet someone else like you

And not be able to get away.

 

*You complete me

&*

You destroyed me
