Lost in Love and Fear
It’s been so long that I am not sure how to love.
I only know I have love to give and I am dying trying.
I cry out for that warmth and connection.
I suffer in silence with my insecure thoughts.
I dread each night when it’s time to sleep.
The thoughts echo in my head and run wild.
I want to yell, “I love you.”
Yet I am terrified of the reply or the deafening silence.
Will I need to run and hide, or will my love be welcomed?
I have given my mind and soul.
To give all of me is dark and overwhelming.
Starting over is even scarier, and I fear the thought.
Will you welcome me with open arms?
Or will I need to start over again?
This burning love of my hurts often
Will you help me cure my pain?
