LOVE AND FEAR
I know I would love you
If you said the right word
That's why I'm scared of you
Even though it's absurd
You possess a great power
Of beauty and grace
From your spirit so precious
To your soft, lovely face
You frighten me, darling
As no one else should
Because you can hurt me
As no one else could
It would take but a sentence
To pluck out my heart
It would take but a whisper
To tear it apart
I find you so special
I can't find the right phrase
I search for it blindly
My mind in a daze
Perhaps there'll be one day
That I'll find words I seek
To tell you unfrightened
Three small words I can't speak
