Scared of Love

I've watched from afar for so long
Your eyes have haunted my dreams
Leaving me paralyzed with pain
that shatters to my very core
Each vein a pathway for pain
Like lighting through my blood
I've held your eyes for a moment of time... once
Long ago before you ran away
Scared of what could've been
And what we both knew we wanted to be
Me and you we've gotten good at doing the wrong thing, real good
Just to make are heart aches, proof that we'll survive
Even in the setting sun, we'll survive
Lonely and broken, crying and wanting
That which we deny even if our own hearts are ripped out
And held in pale hands, that have long since lost the memory
Of what it felt like to touch, another human being


You've watched from afar for so long
The scent of me thick in your memory
Draped across what was once happy
Leaving it bitter and forgotten
In pain so rich you can almost taste it
Thick upon your tongue, teeth shattered
From the effort of holding it all in
You've looked me in the eyes once... for a moment
You ran away scared and lost
Afraid to let yourself go, for even a second of frozen time
You and I we aren't so alike yet not so different
To souls trapped in a battle
Crying and wanting
And to scared to love... again.
