The Greatest Fear
Lost in this sea of gray
Staring at the hurt left in your eyes
There is nothing left to say
Just remembering the earlier cries
Getting pulled away in the riptide
I see you reach out
But I have too much pride
I hear you but it is no more than a shout
The love you could have given me
It scared me too much
But this gray sea
It’s comfortable to the touch
As I am whisked away
I feel my heart beat
Slowing down as it may
Fluttering with uttering defeat
Staring at the hurt left in your eyes
There is nothing left to say
Just remembering the earlier cries
Getting pulled away in the riptide
I see you reach out
But I have too much pride
I hear you but it is no more than a shout
The love you could have given me
It scared me too much
But this gray sea
It’s comfortable to the touch
As I am whisked away
I feel my heart beat
Slowing down as it may
Fluttering with uttering defeat
