Things That Come From Fear



I know I want you here but I'm not sure what to say,
Silence glistens all around me,
some things would be better that way

I know it hurts when I say I'm disappointed,
I know you feel the fault lies with you,
but I'm not sure that it has ever been true,

before you I lived in emotional poverty
Numbness was the only thing that lasted
And days and weeks didn't matter much to me

But now I'm changed again
Emotions are always there
good and bad and it causes a more resounding fear,

it ruins a lot of our good times,
because I can't remember to forget,
the things that hurt sing in my mind,

And I stare at an empty picture frame,
And think of the sun's envy of a candle,
and the things that come from fear.
