Afraid To Feel

Folder: 
August 2002 Poetry

Maybe the reason,

I doubt your love so much,

is I’m afraid to feel.

I don’t mean to,

I guess I’m just afraid,

to be happy.

Or maybe,

I’m too afraid to feel,

because I’m afraid,

to get close to you,

only to lose you.

I think in my mind,

that maybe if I don’t feel now,

I won’t feel the heartache,

when it’s over,

if it was to end.

But then again,

in my heart,

I feel it will never end.

I don’t want to be afraid,

afraid to feel.

Help me overcome my fear,

before it consumes me,

into a loveless girl,

with no feelings at all.
