Open Book

 

My fears are an open book, so easy to see, but others just overlook.

I fear war.

I fear death and life.

I fear tears.

I fear ugliness and beauty.

I fear happiness.

I fear lies and honesty.

I fear being right and proven wrong.

I fear touches of tenderness and love.

I fear being intimate.

I fear being with someone for something more.

I fear the bad and the good.

I fear being alone and having someone there when I wake up.

I fear for someone to stop when I say no.

I fear losing and winning.

I fear failure and success.

I fear not women who's abusive, but those who are caring.

I fear when someone leaves, but not when they stay.

I fear after the deed is done, when she walks out the door for home.

I do fear of keepin’ you, but not of losing you.

I fear when you invite me, not when you shut me out.

I fear when you lie to me, not when you stand by your word.

I fear when you pick up my calls.

I fear when you ignore me.

I fear when your tenderness and sincerity.

I fear when you call me your baby.

I fear giving pleasure to you and when you do the same for me.

I fear not when you walk away and leave me.

I fear of you cheating.

I fear of crying in front of you and of you wiping away my tears.

I fear of you placing my heart back together after breaking it apart.

I fear of being your latest conquest.

But most of all I fear of you understanding me and reading me like an open book!

Very Catch 22ish. I like the compare and contrast cycle you have going there!
