Maybe You're Not the Same

I take a step closer towards

The light you’re in.

Yet fear sits in.

My heart stops,

My mind restrains

My body from going closer.

 I know you’re not the same.

Yet just the thought that you could be

 Just like him

Is enough to keep me at bay.

 

I feel my heart longing to say the words

That lingers on my lips.

I feel my arms stretch out for your embrace,

Yet I force them back down into place.

 

What if you are just like him?

What if you break me

And leave me for dead

Just like he did?

The scars from him still burn in vain

At the chaos from the memories he left

That still burns my chest.

Yet just your smile can erase my pain.

Is this feeling okay?

Your hand reaches out to me,

Your arms lock around me,

I feel my heart flutter.

Is this feeling okay?

I start to feel safe

Locked in your arms.

I start to feel okay

With just the thought

 That maybe

you’re not the same.
