THE DESIRE WITHIN

I am frightened,
Of letting go.
Scared of you,
Of what you know.

I am terrified,
Of what may be.
Fearful of setting,
These forces free.

I know the picture,
So clear the lines.
I know the colour,
I know the signs.

I am afraid,
To have you see.
Petrified of closeness,
And how you feel for me.

I am terrified of bonds that,
Always break.
Anxious about promises,
That people make.

I know the struggle,
Its pain is real.
I know the need,
In my gut I feel.

Still I am troubled,
By the storm in me.
If you are you,
Then who must I be?
