Poetry: My fear

by Maffew James

I don't know how to tell you this
So maybe I'll just run
I don't know how to look at you
Your eyes bring me undone

It's like sinking into the deepest ocean
Falling from the highest high
Staring, gaping,
At a storm threatened sky

I don't think you want to know
So is it okay if I just run
You'll probably hate me anyhow
So it's better I just go

Fear is like a binding chain
Tight against my chest
To choke me til it all pours out
And finally I rest

I didn't mean to feel this way
But I hoped you'd feel it too
When I took the chance to conquer fear
And told you I loved you
