I'm tired of this uncertainty
I'm treading carefully
Constantly
And it is exhausting
I'm tired of having to watch what I say
I'm afraid
Afraid of this shattering
Afraid of the scars it will leave on everyone
When finally the dust clears
And we give in
Declaring the battle to be done
I know that though I'll strain my ears
All I'll hear
Is the worst silence
Not peaceful
Or calm
No quiet before the storm
This is the silence that follows it
The silence of an empty war zone
After a bomb has been dropped.
So I'm afraid of the consequences
That will shadow me
If I ever lose you
I'm afraid of the the memories that will never allow me to sleep
I'm afraid of my skin
That will remind me of all the times you touched it
- simply put:
I am afraid.
But sometimes I think
Perhaps it would be better-
maybe the only way to fix the cracks
is to let our stars collapse
Because once the pieces shatter
And you leave
I will be allowed
To put them back together
Using a stronger glue
So I'm afraid
Terrified
Of this ending
But perhaps it would be best
To let it end
To let go
Of you
