afraid of this.

numbers topple between us
and i look for answers in your eyes,
catching your smile between stops.

sometimes nights catch me
cold, shivering and wide-eyed with
just you in my head.



it’s crazy how things stab you
and sometimes, you know they will anyway.



and so, i am afraid.
afraid nights catch you too, afraid
you’ll run away, afraid of you and me.


and i’m just sitting in your world
afraid of green lights.

    id remove 'being' from the last line. its very relatable and simply spoken. i dont like all the frills all the time. this is great.
