Deepest fears

I want to run, run away,
Run into the caves
Caves of my heart
And curl up, curl up
In the silence
Of my own company

I am terrified, terrified
Of what could be
The pain that could be
Because of what has been
The pain the loss
That love could bring

I am broken, broken
In my deepest self
Yet Ive never fully knew
Just how much pain
Ive hidden within
Yet you see it naturally

I want to hide, hide
All this weakness,
These wounds so deep
To be strong for you
Yet you see beyond
The mask I met with

I fear, I fear deeply
I'll fall for you
And have you walk away
Not out of fear or hurt
But out of frustration
Dealing with my past

I am powerless, powerless
To overcome the wolves
In these caves of my heart
So I hide and keep my tongue
Even tears stream in silence
For fear of challenging myself

Please stay, stay by me
I know the strength in you
Calls my wolves to me
Yet equally it gives me a sword
And finds me a torch
By which to face my fears
