The Fear

another old one

The day you said goodbye

Was the one that hurt the worst

Now I look back

So many things I could have changed

I see you in the hall

Your hands wrapped nice and tight

Around a girl, who is not me

The pain pierces like a knife

That girl used to be me

I wish you could at least hold her differently

I wonder if you ever think about you and me

We were together for so long

But don't worry, I don't want you back

I just want to carry on

Your harsh words, you think they help

But instead they make me want to cry

I know we've both moved on

But is it you that keeps me around?

Or is it me that stays?

I want to leave

I want to run

But something I feel holds me back

I know it's not love

Because I love another

But what else would make me want to hurt

The girl that you hold so tight

Am I jealous that you are happy and I am not?

Or am I scared that you forgot?

The things we gave to each other

Were Sacred to me, and hopefully to you

but do you give those things to her?

I won't give what I had with you away

But I don't want it with me forever

My love for you is like a shadow

I run and hide, but it follows
