Afraid

Why do we stray away from touch,

But are desperate for love?

Not letting our hearts breathe,

Not even wondering if

It would be too much to ask for,

Putting our selfish selves first

Yet forgetting to show the true emotions

Displayed in the eyes.

Longing for the affection we don't deserve,

Longing to fill the empty space

But forgetting to open the door

And letting nobody in,

Clenching the knob tightly

Afraid to fall into misery again

All because the mind is afraid

When the heart needs love.
