Fear of not knowing
Fear of loving too much
Fear of pain
Fear of not ever knowing true love
Fear of not reaching love’s ultimate high

Does it exist? Love is it real?
I’ve seen miracles of love
I’ve seen the struggles to keep a love
I’ve cried many tears over a lost love
I’ve cried tears of fear over a new love
Fear… such an inner struggle
Can we overcome it?

The chance we take
The love we seek
That feeling we feel
The one we give so freely
Is it all worth the trip?
When do you know?
How can you tell?
If your love….
is all that’s needed…

Fear … its all fear…
All these questions… why the fear
Close your eyes and let it go
It holds me down …
It holds me close…
It has no mercy…it has a hold ..

Why the hold now…
What has caused it
I am lost, why now after all this time
This fear ..
How I loath you
Go away.. let me free
I can’t live with you inside of me  

Every tear that flows, is a tear of fear
Let me go, let me fall, let me learn
I have fallen many times before…
Why protect me now
Why the fear of pain…
What’s so different now?
