This storm can’t take away my sorr… This rain can’t wash away my fears… I am scared of all tomorrows, I’m scared to wipe away my tears. I only need someone to listen,
Trailing kisses, hands on my back, hold me close and I can’t breathe. Perfect romance, my heart beats fast,

I walk around, feeling whispers. Avoiding the eyes that prosecute m… The stares. The glares.
Don’t leave me brokenhearted. Don’t leave me in the dust. Don’t pretend you love me, if all you feel is lust. I’m scared you’ll walk away.

Peace comes: When laying under the stars. When wrapped up in his arms. When listening to bird song. When speaking to God above.
