#46 - Fear Of Heights
I
I closed my eyes so there was no sight
Of the only one thing that caused me fright.
I shut my pale lips quite so tight.
My shaking knuckles started to turn white.
II
I felt hot and cold at the same time.
Sweat started to trickle from time-to-time.
My stomach felt like turning upside-down.
I swore under my breath to never look down.
III
They said I was afraid of heights.
I couldn't stand to be on any high sites.
What they said, wasn't worth of believing.
I know that I was just afraid of falling.
IV
I was afraid to fall,
I was afraid to be left by all.
I was afraid to be hurt.
I was afraid of a broken heart.
V
"Never again," I said.
I have once reached the painful end.
I would never let myself to fall again.
I would never hurt myself once again.
