Fear

if someone held a gun to my face
i would not fold or shake in place
because I've been trained from the start
that no man shall put fear in my heart
but from the threat of my heart being broken
every bit of fear in me has been awoken
now the emotion that was once uncharted
has left my feeble heart unguarded 
there is no disaster that can shake me
there is no injury that can break me
but my heart has made it clear
that loving you is my only fear
