You Scare Me
this scares me
to my very core
a fear circles my heart
hovering
like the mist drifting
along the tops of the buildings
of this mysterious city
it scares me that
I can't read your mind
that I don't know where this is going
it frightens me that
you have the ability to make me so happy
can I trust someone with so much power over my smile
it torments me
this fear
it creates doubts
of which I hastily shove to the back of my mind
when your lovely lips touch mine
but it really does scare me
that I can see myself
for the first time in my life
falling in love
