SCARED OF LOVE/ Mirna Nehme

Some say love is a fragrant rose

Some say love is a torrent of deep feelings

Some say love is a fountain of endless giving 

Some say love is a powerful force of all shaking the hearts the souls 

And yet i say love is the unknown mystery drawing us towards it 

Either embracing us or breaking us

My head is troubled

My thoughts are burning 

My mind is overwhelmed with joy fear uncertainty 

Do i plunge in this sea and drown in it?

Do i surrender to my feelings in the name of love?

Or do i withdraw from this uncertain battle?

 I gaze at the clear sky

I contemplate the illuminating moon the shining stars 

Everything around me whispers in my ear how beautiful love is

And like a little innocent girl i jump dance 

But very quickly i wake up from this dream and pull back

I can not hold the tears 

I am broken

I am distraught 

I am shattered

Scared of love i am and will always be
