I'm asked, "what are you afraid of?"
But I can't just say love.

I'm afraid of loving someone,
who doesn't love me the same.
I'm afraid of trying too hard
for someone who wouldn't stay.
I'm afraid of giving it my all,
just to watch them walk away.
I'm afraid of offering my heart,
just to watch them break it.
I'm afraid of my favorite person
just becoming a memory.

So instead, I just say
I'm afraid of spiders.
