Terrified

by AmandaKayBurke

I am terrified to let you know how I really feel But time is spinning forward faster than a wheel Each day that passes is another chance I lose Cowardly silence is what I always seem to choose For what if I let my polished surface crack? Only to discover you don't love me back? So I act indifferent, like I don't care at all Determined not to be the first to text or call I'm safer with you thinking I don't give a fuck You have no idea how badly I'm stuck Controlled by the fear of getting hurt once more That's what happened when I shared feelings before But they keep growing, I have nowhere to hide They have almos filled me up completely inside And I start to wonder how much longer I'm able to pretend these emotions aren't stronger.. I'll admit I'm scared to tell you what is inside my heart But which am I more afraid of? Being real? Or being apart?
