i fear...

i fear.

i fear falling.

i fear loving.

i fear fighting.

i fear feeling.
i fear failing.

i fear forgetting.

i fear.

falling because the ground hurts.

loving because it takes so little to take it all away

fighting because of the wounds those fights leave behind

feeling because the numbness is just so much easier

failing because the bottom can feel like the loneliest place on earth

and forgetting because, sometimes, the memories are all that's left...

but most of all i fear all these things

because...

i fear falling in love and fighting the feelings that i will always fail to forget...
