I'm afraid

Save me!
I'm scared!
I don't want this feeling
It haunts me,
stalks me,
follows me,
taunts me.

It's you!
Not me!
You're way too close.
Stay back!
Go away!

I'm afraid to fall in love

Run!
Flee!
Fly!

Escape while you can

It's me!
It's me!
I can't help it, OK?

I fear you,
I avoid you,
I try, oh so very hard, to keep my distance

But you're there,
Always there,
Just to rub it in my face

I can love,
Oh yes I can
But I don't want to,
That would be the end

I would have given you everything
Everything that is me.

It's mine!
It's mine!
This is all me

Why?
Oh why?
Can't you just leave me be?

Please, God of love,
Spare me!
I can't be trusted!
And I'll never trust you!
Never ever,
ever,
ever.

I sound like a child!
But I'm too stubborn to move.

Don't push me!
Don't pull me!
I can't fall to you!

And don't fall for me,
Because,
too afraid to reach out and catch you,
I would just watch you fall...
