I am scared!

 

I thought hearing your voice one day

Would make me feel better,

Remove all the pain I felt

After you left me.

 

But now I am scared.

Your voice takes me back to where it started:

How you broke my heart

And showed no remorse in it.

 

Now you're showing interest again.

Yes, you miss me because I do too,

But I am scared.

 

I’ve been giving you lots of chances,

And all you did was ruin them all.

How will I even trust you again?

 

I wish I had answers to my queries.

I should be happy, but I am scared.

I don’t even know how to react to this.

I thought I knew, but now I don’t.

 

I am really scared.

I am scared to open my heart again

And let you in, as all

You do is break it.
