I want to have you back
but I'm afraid to take the risks

I love you still, it's a fact
but it's the painful part I don't miss

I learned my lesson the hard way
and it's not the kind of spot I wanted to stay

I'm in the verge of believing your words
as if my heart has it's own accords

But then the moment you change your mind again,
where will I be next?
For sure, I won't definitely put that to the test.

I'm sorry but I'm not brave enough to take things through
but then, ARE YOU?

You can't spend your life
wanting to fly while
you choose to
always
walk.
Rise above it all...

Every tiny yield
you give to anxiety
A hesitant step
back
From your true heart
and
untapped potential.
Its easy to say and hard to do.
Fear is crippling. Everyone has their own battle with it too.
Its normal but if you go through life without taking a risk, you'll never truly fly. You'll never truly live

I have never seen a shell like yours
The smooth shine invites sunlight that dances on your home
Our shells side by side
Split image souls that Rorschach couldn't quiet duplicate
We talk from the windows of our domains
The beaming similarities of a feeling I've never had
I split this affection in half and let you have your share
I throw my heart over and it doesn't quite reach you
The feeling of unknown
I am cautious of shallow water
How easy it is to doubt survival
How rejuvenating it is to hear your heart
My shell won't limit my direction towards you
I will catapult into the unknown feeling bare
Unlimiting actions
We are forever here

Playing it safe is boring,
If you never take risks you'll never have stories.

One sentence poem.
Cherisse May May 2017
What is this feeling
Of longing for
Your presence
And the safety that comes with it

What is this feeling
Of wanting
Everything and nothing
All at once

What the actual ****
Am I doing
Writing out how I feel
When I'm too afraid to tell you honestly

Why do I
Fear the risks
And hide myself
Despite knowing how much I feel?
Christ, what am I doing.


For you.

What if I start the mission though
I go somewhere I never knew
I take a risk
I take a chance
I forget my fears and let myself dance
But I can't go through
I fear it's fate
I stay on this side of the closing gate
