Bruised Knees & Broken Dreams
Scared To Love
































Scared to love
for fear it might not feel
the way I dreamt that it would.
Fear it might get tangled
into a web of deceivement,
like friendships often do
or like summer,
afraid it too would turn to fall.

Scared to love,
for fear my capability
isn't what's expected.
Fear it might vanish
before my eyes, while I blink
or that the feeling
won't be returned.

Scared to love,
for fear that I can't.
