Fear

What are you afraid of?
That you will fall
and I won't be there to help you up?
That I won't walk beside you
to keep you from falling again?

What are you afraid of?
That you will make a mistake
and I won't forgive you?
That I will turn you away
and never want to see you again?

What are you afraid of?
That you love me too much
and I won't return the sentiment?
That I won't listen to your heart's desires
and care about them time and again?

What are you afraid of?
That you will wake up alone
and I won't be there to hold you?
That I won't cradle your head in my hands
and kiss the apple of you cheek ever again?

What are you afraid of?
That you will give me all of you
and I won't understand your vulnerability?
That I won't give you all of me
and you will be left broken again?

What are you afraid of?
Tell me.
Please.
For all I want to do
is tell you what I'm afraid of, too.
