Fear of...

by Mama Effie - Cancer

Some people have seen
Me go from
Bouncing off the walls
To crying in a corner

It all comes from
This little fear
Built deep inside
My scarred heart.

This is a fear
Of falling for someone
I shouldn't fall for

A fear of
Feeling something
I am scorned for

I have searched
Oh so long
For someone to

Get rid of this fear
That keeps me from loving 
Like it should be...true

Then one day
We traveled to a new place
One where all memories,
Were washed away

I saw something
Hidden in your eyes
It all came
As such a big suprise

That the one
I had asked once

"Have you ever,
just caught your self staring
Not knowing why?"

You looked at me,
Straight in the eyes
and said "Yeah,
That happened to me once"

Well look now
Here we are
Walking, talking
Like an old time love story

They make fun of us
We take it in stride
But for once
I don't run to that faithful corner
And begin to cry.

You have taken that fear
Thrown in far far away
Into a ocean
With no memory

My fear of loving you
Has wilted and died
Been rooted out
And my scarred heart healed.

Fear of...
Loving you 
Hold you
Disappionting you

Are all flying out the window
As we wave good-bye
You on your Harley
And I seeing it all
From the sky.

Reason for writing:

    I dunno about the last two, I just wrote them, i don't really know what they mean.
