Afraid of Love

Afraid to love?
Love isn’t supposed to be scary.
Love to be afraid
Now that’s something i can believe.
Afraid to be loved in return?
Mutuality has never been so unfair
Try to play with fire and not be burned
Now something is really wrong there
Afraid for love to come?
Attempts at caring for no one.
Yet still coming undone
When you find your personal sun
Afraid that love will stay?
After being used to the worse way
Trying not to admittedly say
The words not to be put into play
Afraid of love being there?
You try to deny it
But you know it’s there
And that you can't escape it
Afraid of love’s truth?
When your emotions are off the shelf
And you know it’s true
Or else you wouldn’t protect yourself
Afraid when you feel loved?
When love shows up
You lose sight of the opposite
And instinctively know
Afraid when it’s too late to love?
That even when you try
To prepare for hell
And still know it’s too late
Afraid to get out of love?
You think of freedom
But mistake it with solitude
And you’re reminded of enough
