Falsely
I protested 
"I don't love!"
You proved me to be a fool
Wrong
As I fell for you
Standing to be seen as firm
In control of how I took words you spoke
I had become free
I truly let go
Without my walls
I became vulnerable
Yet, I didn't care
In our moments, I had no concern
I handed you all trust
But, my trust had you earned?
Was I tired of fighting?
Running from these feelings
May it have been something I wanted?
Lies I told myself
Lies I confidently spoken out
" I don't love!"
Yet, staring at you has me stuck
Being without you, has me feeling sprung
Angry
Only because, for you I'm stingy
Down and out
When I'm unable to have you with me
I'm so use to being in control
Now, you hold these pieces
The choices you call
Yet, I was tired of fighting
Running from these feelings
I don't want to fear love
But, with you 
I once again remember
Love holds fear
And
Fear can hold love
This is a story I wish to overcome
Nothing feels more peaceful than your smile
As you look up
I hear you speak,
" come here, closer, next to me...
I'll love you always
My love will always be."
Yet, those words still hold fear
As I dread a possible day
When you fade
Leave and disappear
Will all I have left be that sweet sound of you in my ear?
I know that won't be enough to make me feel as if your near..
