Run

Hope.Hope is dangerous.
I'll be honest
With you now.
I'm completely,
utterly terrified,
Of being around you.
I have to throw down the
Anchor,
To keep my feet planted,
And resist the urge to run away
Because I know that
If I stay to long,
If I continue
To look into those eyes
Every single night and morning,
I will lose myself in them
And there will be no turning back.
When I'm around you,
my heavy heart finally feels lifted
And it terrifies me
Because I know if it's dropped now
There will be no going back,
No repairing this empty,
beaten heart.
Which is why I'm completely,
Utterly terrified
Of being around you.
I put my game face on,
And resist the urge to flee
because I know if I keep this up,
I will lose myself in you.
