loss and fear co-exist

by issheokay

i want to tell you. i really do. i'd love to spill my secrets, my issues to you. yet i can't comprehend it. i can't communicate it to you. and the fact you could leave me. it makes my heart a tearful blue. you already look at me as if i'm broken. what do i have to lose? i want to tell you. i really do. yet i can't cope with the fact. the fact your presence may fade. vanish without a trace. except you'd still have that key. the key that can unlock the darkness in my brain.

Notes

this poem is in honour of my teacher who wants me to know that i can talk to him. but it's nearing the end of the year and he may not be my teacher next year. i fear that if i tell him too much i won't be able to cope that next year he might be wandering around with the burden of my thoughts i selfishly put on him without being able to do much to help me. and that i won't be able to connect with another teacher like i have with him. so, in general, this poem isn't really about telling him about my issues. it's about the fact that i might lose his presence in my life and that he's one of the last things that's keeping me sane. this poem is about loss. XD sorry for the mini rant i just needed to get this out there y'know.
