SCARED

by Jo   May 20, 2008


WHEN YOU FIRST SAID YOU LOVED ME...
I WAS SCARED YOU WERE GOING TO HURT ME...
FOR ALL I HAD EVER SEEN WAS LOVE END IN SOMEONE GETTING HARMED...

WHEN YOU FIRST HELD ME CLOSE...
I WAS SCARED YOUR GENTLE TOUCH WOULD TURN TO A DEADLY ONE AT ANY MOMENT...
FOR ALL I HAD HEARD AND SEEN WAS THAT TYPE OF ABUSEMENT...

BUT IT'S BEEN A YEAR AND NONE OF THIS HAS HAPPENED...
YOUR LOVE IS STILL TRUE
AND
YOUR TOUCH IS AS GENTLE AS IT FIRST WAS...

BUT PLEASE UNDERSTAND...
I WILL ALWAYS HAVE A BLOCKED HEART..
FOR I AM SO ATTACHED ALREADY..ITS DEADLY...
AND IF I OPEN ANYMORE...THEN I'M SCARED THAT I WILL JUST BE PUTTING MYSELF OUT THERE TO GET HURT....
