Story that I fear

 Story that I fear 

My soul becomes numb when those

words i hear,

I don't know if it's love or the story that i fear!

It is indeed something so magical, but, is this magic

even real?

If that soul fills warmth in my freezing body i wish it

to be ideal... Being someone's everything then, 

suddenly disregarded,

Would be so scary...and then wish it never started!

The marks humans leave are too often scars,

Words only disguise the hideous reality hidden, behind those bars.

I'm sure it's not just a daydream but it's bound by a fright,

Herein lies a soul longing for a beautiful day...skipped

from the darkness of night!

Heart may not be familiar but mind knows the fear,

Of broken fragile strings whose music no one can hear...

I don't know if it's love or the story that I fear.
