Array ( [sid] => 172187 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Just someone I'm too scared to love [time] => 2012-04-26 12:50:36 [hometext] => Just a little piece that portrays how I feel at this exact moment. Hope you all like :) [bodytext] => We are happy in love, you and I
Happy together, frozen in time, with no goodbyes
Together as one, our love shows no shame
Together forever, our love burns bright like the brightest of flames

Yes that sounds perfect, if only it could be
If only I wasn’t such a coward, its complicated you see
You are mine, my love, my life but only in a fantasy
You’re just someone I’m too scared to love when it comes to reality

You’re perfect to me, but not who I’m expected to love
Not society’s idea of perfect, that kind we shouldn’t speak of
So I let fear overpower, afraid of the judgment that lies ahead
Afraid of the low whispers, evil eyes, oh the stories, how they spread

So for now I stay trapped, deny all feelings, and deal with the misery you see
For now I shall remain a coward, impersonate who I do not wish to be
Courage is what I lack, shame is what I show,how I what to show you as someone I am proud of
But right now my dear, shame overcomes, right now you’re just someone I’m too scared to love.

this poetry obliviously expresses how you feel right now. As all poetry, its always about releasing those emotions and learning to cope with it, than writing it down. So that the reader can connect with that emotions.. i felt it..so its a good one.

Nice write. Your words caught my eyes, and carried me to the end. It showed love and anguish, hope and fear. Really liked it. Thank you for sharing.
