Afraid

I was afraid to let you know about the feelings I did not show.
About the pain I keep inside.
Or the way I run and hide.
I was afraid to hear you speak about the promises you could not keep.
To reveal all my wounds and strip me bare.
It’s just a game, but it’s just not fair.
You told me that you loved me and I believed you.
I had thought all of what you said was true.
Fool me once shame on you.
Fool me twice shame on me.
I was afraid of what our love would never be.
And so you see, I was afraid of loving me.
