Taken A Chance

Remember, it was Thursday?
Our souls echoed across the room
Tear stained hands on our laps
Words were starting to bloom.
Your frown looked down on my sadness
With perplexity but care
I was scared, I was confused
My heart not being ready to share.

That seems like an eternity ago
And yet you're by my side
I know I disappoint you
When you open up every time.
Forgive me, love, I do not know
How to show it all to you
But if I must, I would say
I would risk it all for you.

I know I am a wreck
Heartless sometimes and I get mad
But I'd set apart our differences
Just to see you not get sad.
Believe me, please, when I confess
Moving on isn't an option
Erasing you from my mind
Is only an imagination.

I'm afraid of myself-
More than I'm afraid of my past
Messing it is all I do
Leaving me is all they want.
All that you've made me experience
And all that you've promised to be
Was always used as lessons
Remained as only a fantasy.
In the silence, in the darkness
You kept me reigned
Taught me not to give up
And to love again.
