It's never easy, but it's always worth it

The links break one by one
As the chains that hold me down
Stop me from saying what I’m feeling
Your words, your actions
Your tender touch,
They are stronger than fear’s steel
Another link breaks, another wall crumbles
As I wake in the morning to see
You lying there peaceful, eyes closed
With a smile on your face.
A picture’s worth a thousand different sensations,
All conveying one meaning, one emotion.
I never thought I’d say the words
But it feels as though they are a part of me already
Life’s a jigsaw puzzle
And we are but pieces that fit perfectly
Independence’s security still lingers on my mind
But turns more into a fading memory each day
The words you told me
Help lay aside the chains
You are the key to unlock them
The stars weren’t out that night,
But neither were we to look up at them;
We were in your bed
And all your walls had crumbled.

I Wanna Tell You Everything...

There is this one song that I really can't stop listening to. Normally, with my songs, I get bored of hearing the same one over and over, but today, I must have played it at least 20 times. It's called, "The Fear In Love" by Don't Look Down. I don't know what it is about the song, but I really can't stop listening to it. Anyway, here's a poem.

Bathed in starlight
On a grassy floor
I stare into the eyes
Of the woman I adore
Freezing from each breath
We move closer to keep warm
Icy cold hands slither down my shirt
I ignore them to no avail
Though the stars this night
Are the most beautiful I’ve seen
I can’t bring myself to look,
To break from this gaze
It is a warm feeling you get inside
That truly can’t be retold
To understand, you have to feel it yourself
I understand why now.
Why Romeo fought so hard
The reason wars are waged in its name
Why a mother clings so tight to her children
Why I can’t stop staring at you
Why I can’t stop saying “what”
I want to tell you everything
If it weren’t for this fear within…
My breath runs short, rapid pants
Pass from my lips heavily
I feel so much pain,
I pull you closer than I ever have
But it only hurts more
I know why I feel this way
But that doesn’t stop the burn
The fear of love is hard to ignore
Ever-present, but never sure.
