Fear

Fear to tell you how I feel,
to hear what you will say.
Fear to face rejection,
if you don't like me that way.
Fear to lose you as my friend,
or to have my feelings known.
Fear that you will walk away,
And then I'll be alone.
Fear that I will never again,
hear your sweet and sexy voice.
Fear your face will be a distant memory,
and this would not be my choice.
Fear that you will treat me,
not as you had before.
Fear I will lose you forever,
and this is my daily personal war.
