Afraid
O my little heart,
Why don’t I hear you beating?
Wondering if You and I,
could set up a quick meeting.
Why don’t I hear you beating?
Wondering if You and I,
could set up a quick meeting.
Nay, Let me be hidden here,
Away from the sight of the world,
Don’t know whom to trust,
There ain’t any without a twisted word.
Away from the sight of the world,
Don’t know whom to trust,
There ain’t any without a twisted word.
Those aching words of my heart,
Broke me further in pieces so little.
Always ready for the world ahead,
It wasn’t so strong, just so brittle.
Broke me further in pieces so little.
Always ready for the world ahead,
It wasn’t so strong, just so brittle.
In the faint thumping of my heart,
Silent sobbing I often hear,
Visiting its scars of betrayal and deceit,
I feel the pain it has to bear.
Silent sobbing I often hear,
Visiting its scars of betrayal and deceit,
I feel the pain it has to bear.
When boundless love that showers,
Overwhelmed it swells.
Finding it hard to believe,
On uncertainty it dwells.
Overwhelmed it swells.
Finding it hard to believe,
On uncertainty it dwells.
Come thou, out of that dark chamber,
Let’s walk towards the light.
With my words of courage,
I hope, for happiness, it might fight.
Let’s walk towards the light.
With my words of courage,
I hope, for happiness, it might fight.
Waiting for hours and days,
I listen hard to hear a reply.
But to my failure,
It’s now even scared to try.
I listen hard to hear a reply.
But to my failure,
It’s now even scared to try.

Prompt : Afraid
a little too close to reality at some level for me 🙁
Sad to hear that Doc! I hope you give your enough courage to be free again!
Once bitten twice shy… But hopefully life would also fade those scars of betrayal. Well written.
Yes Life often fades out the scars but still a few remains I guess! Thanks Rajlakshmi!
That’s how it always is…once the heart is scarred, it prefers staying within the walls it builds for itself, safe from the cruel world!
I guess yes and it in-turn hurts others whi try to break in 🙁
I’ve been here once, but once I decided to let go off the fear and try I have never had to face this again. Hope you find the strength to do so too.
Yes, but it’s hard to find that kind of strength! Great you could do that! Kudos!
Beautifully written 🙂 Kudos!
