F E A R

Haunts me like a nightmare,

Exploiting all my happiness,

Leaving me without a care,

And into a mess.

F E A R

Tears up my inside,

As if it had claws,

Stringing me along for the ride, 

As it's words and emotions continue to gnaw.

F E A R 

Get away from me,

I want your departure,

Get out of where my eyes can see,

Quit increasing and making it harder.

F E A R

Always taking what is mine,

It's all I know,

A creeping feeling down my spine,

But I won't let it show.

F E A R

It's constant and firm,

It's never-ending,

It's always causing me some type of harm,

And won't leave to let me do some mending.

F E A R

I feel it very often,

I threw it far away,

And yet it comes back,

 Announcing its stay.

F E A R

Has made me scared to love,

In thought that it'll hurt me too,

It has made me terrified to be as gentle as a dove,

Whenever it comes to you.

F E A R

Ate up all of my apologies,

Ate up all my tears,

Destroyed my gentle and calm seas,

Always hanging near.

F E A R

Made me scared to be happy-

To show how I feel,

Made me mortified when I was sappy,

And wanted nothing more than for me to kneel.

B U T

When I'm with you,

Fear cannot reach me,

In your arms I feel protected,

I just wish you could see.

Take these words,

And see them as your own,

Because these are for you,

And you, alone.
