For some months I’ve felt alone
Then all my friends want to talk to me
The damage is done
I’m already gone
A low life, no life loser.
I’ve found myself unlovable
I have a horrid fear
Of being with someone
Of being loved by someone
And after this damage is done
People tell me they love me
I don’t want to tell them
I don’t want to break their hearts
For the truth is, I love them too,
But I am too afraid
Of what could happen,
Of what would happen.
Why do people wait
Till the damage is done
To tell others their feelings?
I want to love
And to be loved,
But I can’t.
Fear has taken over my life
A fear of commitment
A fear of change
I would love to love you
But I can’t.
I’m too afraid.
All weekend, I was hanging out with friends, when I've been so used to everyone being too busy for me, or have friends that they can do drugs with (I don't do drugs or drink, so a lot of times, this is a turn off for people). Both days, they were asking "Are you ok?" because I was really uncomfortable being out and about with people, as it had been a while since people wanted to be with me. I also have a strong fear of being in a relationship, I believe it is because of my ex, who had assumed after we had our first kiss, we were going to get married. There was a lot of emotional trauma, as he was a homophobe, and hated the fact that I was not straight. Because of this, I believe that is where my fear of relationships came from. But yesterday, a friend called me to tell me another friend liked me, and she even came on the phone to confirm this. I am deathly afraid and don't know what to do.
