Staring up at me
blue eyes afraid to cry
her heart pounding for me
I am her fear
Looking down at her
brown eyes afraid to move
with the bruises she created on my body
She is my fear
I fear her dominance
she fears the emotions I make her feel
I fear nothing my her hand, but that our love
may become nothing more than a one-night stand
I'm just an insecure girl
afraid of her sexuality
and you're just an abused woman
afraid to love again
I fear everything
with child-like eyes
that love is merely an infatuation
nothing but
a sort of puppy-eyed adoration
And you believe
the world's darkest lies
afraid that, through the barrier,
they see your pain
And will betray you once again.
But the chill of winter is fading,
your untouched heart can beat again
Our bodies are one
And the fear all melts away
