He Knows Nothing of Her Fears

Silent anticipation tears her heart

Burning embers blind her sight

His tears, her only fears

Confusion, a struggle of heart and mind

Thoughts of life and death, of loss and pain

A pain stronger than any wound spreads

A burning moves until nothing can stop

The tears, so real and new, that flow like rivers down their cheeks

She only wants his touch, his reassurance, and his love

She only wants to nor be the first every time

She only wants to hear him whisper of his love, to hear his heart

He knows nothing of her fears

 

He knows nothing of her fears

He doesn't know how she hurts, how his hardening cuts sharper than any knife

Her knows nothhg of her fears

He can't explain his mind but knows not of his heart

This deadly combination leaves her in the dark

All alone, grasping for anything and everything

Hoping with all she is that her won't reject her

The one person she truly loves won't reject her like the world

The one girl that just wants to be free

Free from her past, her present, her future

Free in spirit, heart, and mind

Free to be with him eternally

 

But he, he doesn't know and doesn't know what to do

For he knows nothing of her fears
