Things people shy from

 

Love means I will be with you no matter what…

if I have to give up who I am to hold you I will, but I haven’t the courage…

if I have to give up my friends and brothers for you I will…

but I have not the courage,

I am a coward.

 

But know that what I give up is all of my life.

I give up who I was and could be for you.

 

So if you accept my love than please take it selfishly.

 

In the rain of heart break,

I hide who I am because my brothers would never understand.

 

I feel they would never understand,

I feel that they would shun me for my heart and desires.

 

So with all my love I hide you…

and I feel the shame of who I am.

 

How could I be what you need me to be when…

I am ashamed of who I am?

 

How can I be myself when I hide it from you?

 

How could love grow in my heart when I push you away because of others,

how is it I deserve you?

 

I never could hold your love,

because I am too much of a coward to admit it,

even to myself.
