It Scares Me

by Jemma   Dec 19, 2006


You terrify me
It scares me that you know me
Whilst all other see someone else
The one they want to see
And where others look for the wrong things
See the wrong signs
You found me

Every night I spend searching silence
Welcoming what it knows is my secret
The sanctuary for the true self
But there is no safety

It scares me that you know me
That you see all I hide within
It scares me that you know me
That you're the only one that can hurt me
Because I cannot defend myself
Against a foe I refuse to see

It scares me that I let you in
Time and time again
And I hope, I pray you won't hurt me
Because that would surely kill me
That you would try to harm me

It fascinates me
When you say you are scared of me
And love to me is a great mystery
A pleasure and a burden to bear
They become one, hand in hand
Sincerity with doubt

I'm waiting for time to catch me up
I am waiting for you
And it scares me
How much I've come to trust you
The only one that I have let in
The one that could rampage within my heart and hurt me
Trusting you to tread with care
Take care
Else you'll crush my heart
