I get very scared sometimes, so I wrote a list to give you about everything that scares me. So that you might not do those things But then I got scared again, and I didn't give it to you. And your very existence scares me And yet I love you And I think you might be the best person I know And I don't ever want to hurt you And yet your pain is so overwhelming I often can't breathe and I'm trapped in this world both with you and without you and I can't love you because I'm too scared of myself and it hurts. It hurts. I should give you that list But your pain outlasts mine And shouldn't I let myself sacrifice my fear for your happiness?

The List
I get very scared sometimes, so I wrote a list to give you about everything that scares me. So that you might not do those things But then I got scared again, and I didn't give it to you. And your very existence scares me And yet I love you And I think you might be the best person I know And I don't ever want to hurt you And yet your pain is so overwhelming I often can't breathe and I'm trapped in this world both with you and without you and I can't love you because I'm too scared of myself and it hurts. It hurts. I should give you that list But your pain outlasts mine And shouldn't I let myself sacrifice my fear for your happiness?
