My love flows as free
as calm still waters,
though I drown in fear
My world is quiet,
hearing only the echo
of empty nothingness
I yearn for closeness
yet, I seek a refuge
against the storm of hurt
The wall around me, reinforced
if you try to love me..
tarnished trust won't let you in
Close intimacy is what I crave
but fear is what I know
where does that leave my heart?
