i am in denial, you say.
no, i am just scared.

because really,
all i want is
     you.

i want to close my eyes
and stand on top
of the world with you,
holding your warm hands
and feeling the breeze
take my worries somewhere,
anywhere but here.

but to get to the
top of the world,
we must climb.

and that's why i'm scared.

they say they'll never let you go.
that it's you and them,
and no one else;
that no matter what,
they're with you until the end.

it's all lies.

they will leave.
they will let you fall.
they will not be there to catch you.
          you will be alone.
         and you will end up
                 broken.

it's painful.
it hurts.

i do not ever want
to climb the mountain again.

i am broken.
i am shattered.
i am scared.
