Scared

written by: OurSacredHonor

What are you so afraid of?
Why are you so scared?
I wouldn't be so insistent
If it wasn't for the fact I cared
Why is this so confusing?
Why is this so awkward?
Wouldn't this be easier
If you'd just be straightforward?
I can see you're frightened
By what I just don't know
But I don't want to push you
If you don't know where to go
I never meant to hurt you
Or anybody else
I don't want you to think
I care only about myself
I care so much about you
I don't know if you know
I try so hard sometimes
That I'm not sure if it shows
You're hiding something from me
And I don't care much for secrets
However I do understand
Why it is you keep it
Hide these answers from me
It's ok please take your time
I'll be patient and I can wait
For these things to unwind
I don't want you to feel pressured
But please don't take too long
Because until I know the truth
I'll feel I've done something wrong
No one is to blame
Things are the way they are
Time will heal all wounds
But some will still leave scars
I don't want this to end
In a horrible disaster
I would rather these friendships
Be forever after
I'm scared of this situation
And I don't know if you can tell
I'm eager to resolve this all
And get out of this hell
I've shaken the chains and unleashed
something in the darkness
We both fear it, but only you
Know the power it can harness
Please don't keep me waiting
This hurts too much inside
This fear makes me numb
This fear makes me cold
Makes me feel like I'm not alive
