You don't know how I feel
Cuz I'm too scared to say
I'm just so afraid
That you'll be the same way

Controlling and possesive
Pushing me to do
Things that I don't want to
Cuz I can't say no to you

I'm scared that you won't love me
That you'll just push me away
I'm so afraid to love you
You might lead my heart astray

I want to feel that love again
But I don't know how to trust
I don't want to hurt again
What if it's only lust

I try to believe
That love won't hurt this time
I just want you to fix
This broken heart of mine

I don't want to be scared
I just want to feel whole
Please be honest with me
Don't break my heart and soul

I think you have captured the feelings of many people who are too scared to speak up in a relationship. It's a really nice poem.

Please take my words to heart. Fear has no place in a relationship. I know this first hand, I lived it for 8 years. If you are afraid to be yourself then the relationship will never work. If one person tries to dominate and control you already then it will only worsen in time. Be brave and be true to yourself. You are strong and beautiful and deserving of respect and kindness. Never sell yourself short. Being alone is much better then being with someone who controls you. What will you do if you are with this one when the right one comes along? Love will find you, you just need to be patient and independent.
