Afraid to Love

But the snow always melts in the sun's warm light,

Unlike my heart, hidden well out of sight.

My heart, so cold to maddened desire,

What once was a flame and always a fire

Is now fading with fright.

Afraid love will never come,

Love and all its delights,

Love, which chases shadows away,

Cannot - for now - keep my demons at bay.

Because I am afraid. Afraid.

Afraid to love again,

Afraid to fall so hard.

Afraid to carry on.

Afraid to show my scars.

But, don't get me wrong,

I still believe in love.

Pure, true love.

But I don't believe

It was made

For someone

Like

Me.
