May 2016
I am frightened beyond belief
Of these feelings consuming me
My heart soars to your heavenly beauty
My Soul sold to hell to find the pain of your darkness
My body trapped by the earth between us
And all of me drowning in this raging storm
A bottomless chasm of emotion crushing down on me
So much beautiful love that every part of me hurts
And I'm terrified that I will lose what I don't even yet have
Your smile
Your touch
Your kiss
Your love...

And I'm afraid of myself
Im afraid of this impossible beautiful mad mad feeling
This crazy that paints a smile on my face while I sleep
A smile that won't wash off
Im afraid of this unexplainable and unimaginable happiness
That spreads through me at your every thought
I fear myself running
Myself denying
Myself hiding
Myself lying...

Pretending it isn't real
That it was all just rhymes
Of nonsnense and make belive
That I'll just turn my back
And disappear
That I'll slip into the arms of future regret
Because it's all too beautiful and I can't stop the doubtful whisper
Telling me I don't belong here
That no matter what I do
How hard I pray
Or wish
Or dream
Or hope
I will never know
Your smile
Your touch
Your kiss
Your love...

And that cold soft whisper freezes me to my core
And I tremble in terror
Afraid
Afraid to say
Too much
Too fast
Too soon
Too late
Too slow
Too little
