Afraid

Afraid

A Poem by Joey Martinez

Translucent souls who kept being told they had no emotions begin to feel.
A heart has become crafted and can’t be concealed.
He tries to hide his affection by looking towards the opposite direction but she has become the blood in his veins.
What was once a mind full of nothingness now becomes a magnet to her name.
It drives him insane how the pain of love is making this man feel more.... sane.
She’s beginning to notice the difference in his voice, the dilation in his eyes, the care in his touch.
But she’s scared to show her feelings as well, not wanting him to be her crutch.
Two independent lovers who refuse to depend on one another have to cover the truth.
Both battling a war of their own and don’t dare to call a truce.
So now they become distant to avoid coexistence.
What was once a hook up now becomes a resistance.
Only time will tell the ending of this story.
But I feel it will be one of tragedy rather than glory.
