Fears!
I tried to forget her, but she keeps coming back. Haunting my thinking space. I try to
breathe but I collapse. I run away from all of this 'cause I can't take it. Don't dare to face
this. Open arms, but I don't embrace it. I break out into a cold sweat every time she comes
near. I feel a draft at my feet. The door's still open. No closure.
But I swore it was over. We said our goodbyes. But not forever, only for the night. If that's
the case, may daylight never leave my side. Spend the night with me. Keep me warm with
your company 'til I begin to ignore you. Maybe then I'll face my fears and this situation we
dwell in won't matter.
Leave me be ghost of girlfriend's past. As long as you stalk me, I fear all that could be. I
refused to be what you demanded of me. Love me. Yes, but to love you? My logic won't
allow it, sadly. Don't take your frustrations out on my heart, dear. For my young emotions
don't match up with yours. I swear happiness is in the forecast. This storm of uncertainty has
me shook. Umbrella in my hand, I venture out this door...This open door...There's nothing to
fear but fear itself.
