Love Poem: Fears!

Fears!

I tried to forget her, but she keeps coming back. Haunting my thinking space. I try to 
breathe but I collapse. I run away from all of this 'cause I can't take it. Don't dare to face 
this. Open arms, but I don't embrace it. I break out into a cold sweat every time she comes 
near. I feel a draft at my feet. The door's still open. No closure. 

But I swore it was over. We said our goodbyes. But not forever, only for the night. If that's 
the case, may daylight never leave my side. Spend the night with me. Keep me warm with 
your company 'til I begin to ignore you. Maybe then I'll face my fears and this situation we 
dwell in won't matter. 

Leave me be ghost of girlfriend's past. As long as you stalk me, I fear all that could be. I 
refused to be what you demanded of me. Love me. Yes, but to love you? My logic won't 
allow it, sadly. Don't take your frustrations out on my heart, dear. For my young emotions 
don't match up with yours. I swear happiness is in the forecast. This storm of uncertainty has 
me shook. Umbrella in my hand, I venture out this door...This open door...There's nothing to 
fear but fear itself.
