I can't.
I just can't say these words that keep on haunting,
that keep on swarming in my head,
that keep on tormenting me to say them,
to spill them.
But I can't.
Because.
Because..
Because...
Because I'm scared that I will be rejected.
I'm scared that you're going to turn me down,
I'm scared that everything I've been trying to build up is going to fade to non-existence,
I'm scared these walls I've built up are crumbling and turning into flat plains because of you.
I'm scared.
I'm scared that you're not going to look at me the same way.
And...
And I'm scared
I'm scared that......that you aren't going to say those words back
Because you don't feel the same way that I do.
So I'll fade,
I'll fade silently as these words eat me up from within me.
