The tension roams deep within my chest

My hands are the only sign of what’s occurring beneath the surface

I plea for forgiveness

I suppose, from myself…

I think it’s fear but I’m unsure of what

Am I afraid to love what I soon may lose?

Am I still healing from this bruise?

My mind and body feel heavy

But they run restless this early morning

I’m desperate to find the cause

Then maybe, these demons will set me free

I’m afraid of the magic being gone

I think…

It may be harder to reach me now

I’m struggling to understand why

I might be afraid of never loving with fear again

The cost is high

But I suppose the ride is worth the risk

Something within me no longer moves
