Fears I Can'T Quell

I lied when I said it was easy,
There are so many things that I fear;
Just thinking of them makes me queasy,
I’m waiting for them to appear;

Could it be we’re temporary,
Is our love enough to last;
Will he think I’m ordinary,
When so much time has passed;

The day that he betrays me,
The day he says goodbye;
All of the things that could be,
Make me want to cry;

How do I quell my many fears,
I don’t know what to do;
Cause I only have so many tears,
That I can spend on you.

Tirzah, is this for a new relationship you are in? It's strange how we do not really know all that much about each other here to know when poems are more personal or fictionalized! I enjoyed this read and your comment to me. Luv, Andrea
