Simply Said

I want to be

swallowed up in someone

but I'm scared 

it will mean the end of me

it's what I'm used to doing

I want to love 

to truly know someone

but I'm scared 

it will mean we have to hear

those things we don't want to know

I want to surrender

into a place greater than one

but I'm scared 

it will mean seeing 

those ugly things I am 

in someone else

I want to say

I love you

and mean it

but I'm scared
