The Fear In Me

Pain from my Eyes,
I cry.
Drowning myself;
but wanting to reach out and help.

Stalling, in slow motion,
trying to stay at the same speed.
So easy for you to move towards me,
Yet so hard to find that strength in thee to keep that promise.

To hold what you said to me,
It's me and you; If i fall,
so will you.

So I push me,
Push all the negativity,
Hoping I've got the strength in me.

My words are empty; and harsh you claim.
Though the words of a passerby, let's say,
Can change thy belief.

I am scared.
At times I wither,
of your effect on me.
I know where I need to be,
I also want a piece of the old me.

Wake up, and smell the fear in me.
