I'm Scared

by Natalie   Mar 10, 2004


For a while now it hasn’t been the same,
The arguments, the fights, we keep looking for someone to blame.
We’re the people who are drifting apart,
I still care for you, but the feeling isn’t the same in my heart.

I’m scared that one day I’m going to lose you,
I want us to be over but I’m scared that soon, you’ll find someone new.
I don’t want us to hate each other, I don’t want to cry,
I don’t want it to be the end, the day we say good bye.

I don’t want to feel regret when I find your picture in the draw,
I’m scared that one day you’ll realise you don’t love me anymore.
I want to us to work out, I really do,
We’ve tried, we’ve cried, don’t pretend it’s not hurting you.

We have had so many times together,
I don’t want to say that there was more bad than good,
It’s time we finished it, we’ve done all we could.
There's nothing stopping us from being friends,
We’re so close, I don’t want that to end.

Why does this have to hurt me so bad?
Lately, instead of feeling happy, all I feel is sad.
People stop and ask me how we’re both doing,
I’m scared that one day I’ll be answering for myself,
I won’t know where you are, who you are with, or what you are doing.

I don’t want to wake up one morning and realise you’re not there,
I don’t want to see you one day and realise you no longer care.
Maybe instead of love, things have became more of a habit,
I’m used to you being there, but this isn’t how I want it.

You know so much about me, more than anyone else,
You’ve done more for me than you’ve done for yourself.
I need you there, but I can’t be with you anymore,
I’m hoping we can still be friends,
I’m praying that when we end, you won’t close the door.

This is about knowing that something is over, but not wanting to let it go. I know everyone goes through this at some point.. So it's easy for everyone to understand.

    hi Natalie! this is truly an amazing poem! probably more so cos i've been in such a situation myself. how true and sensitive your observations are - "the arguments, the fights, we keep looking for someone to blame." silly isn't it? when we are in a relationship, there is really no need for anyone to be right or wrong at all. i guess that's why you could relate to my poem A Sudden Loneliness... asking that we learn to give in a little... I sincerely wish that you'll find the strength to let go and move on. I am still learning... :) oh, thank you so much for dropping by my poems and leaving your kind words! really appreciate it! look forward to you coming by again! cheers! 5/5!!!
