Love

Feelings are fear to me.
 Love is my worst enemy.
Truth is what I 
 hold so true,
Like feelings that are all
 so new.

Freedom breaks
 the seldom cry
of broken hearts
 and empty lies.

Shadows follow close
 behind
as I hold my heart
 from broken ties.

 And yet sadness
breaks free, from 
 those who didn't
belief
 I am left with the past
and those
who didn't last.
