Jesse Rustin Poem
Afraid of us
To my love, my world, my everything
I’ve given you my all
In hopes u won’t make me fall
I’ve given you my heart
In hopes you won’t break it apart
But in truth I’ve never actually healed
From the past, the pain and defeat
So, I couldn’t give you that
So, I just gave you a part
The part of me that isn’t broken
The part of me that can be spoken
All I can give is this
For now, my trauma is too much
I love you
I need you
All words I’ve said in vain
For these feelings are without pain
Lies and Lies
To cover up my painful cries
The truth is that my love for you
Is much greater than I knew
My need for you
Controls my mind, that’s true
I wonder and wonder If this will ever end
Holding me back, to defend
To protect the me that I have left
To protect myself from you
For with one word, you can destroy me
For with one phrase can defeat me
The truth is I’m so afraid
Afraid of you
Afraid of me
Afraid of us
I’m afraid of how much I love you
